Whatever happened to Audio Physic? Cardeus ?


Audio Physic has a fairly new Cardeus model and has fallen off the radar. I guess they left the US market. They were a big deal in the 90s. Has anyone anywhere heard this?

Oh boy, trying to describe color or flavor with words...
Many things in common with Virgo or Avanti, great stage, space and 3D imaging, total disappearing act and unbelievably relaxing to listen to - you can go for hours of listening... Cardeas are another level of refinement, richness of nuances (tonally and dynamically). Bass is lean and quick with rarely heard resolution of bass melody - in a way they're unlike most speakers and closer to what I hear in a live performance, acoustic concert. Having said that, I realize that these are not for everyone's taste...
Virgo and Avanti are easier to approach for many people. In a way, Cardeas are kind of the "anti-speaker" if that makes any sense at all...
