Need Impressions of SoundKaos Vox


Hello All,
This is my first post here on Audiogon. I have been very intrigued by SoundKaos Vox 3 speakers (both 3F and 3A). Since there aren't many reviews or discussions out there, I would like to know if any of you members own any of these (Vox 3a or 3f) speakers or have auditioned them/heard them for good amount of time. In case if you do, then also please let me know of the chain that was used with them and any comparison to other speakers that you may have owned previously or heard.
Looking forward to hearing from someone.
Regards,Saurabh

I recently posted this EXACT question & got 1 reply from someone who never heard them but didn't like the No Return [policy of the only seller I could find..
 There are a few reviews found via Google,all very positive BUT also all stating a bit more work required to get them dialed into a room...@ $10,000.00 + with no demo & no return I will pass.Settled on the $3100.00 Sonus Faber Lumina V to supplement my Harbeth M30.1's...
@freediver thanks for your response. I saw your post but as you said nobody really provided any review/impressions of the speakers, hence I also asked the same question. It would be great if you could post the links where you found actual user reviews (not the reviewing sites such as Blue Moon, HiFi Knights etc, as I have already read those.)
I understand no return or no demo can be very frustrating to make a buying decision especially price is this high. I hope you are liking your SF Luminas.

Since only seller was not providing demo or return, did you directly contact Martin of SoundKaos asking him for demo or return policy? I have recently purchased Bakoon amp 13-R from him and found him to be a really nice guy and easy to deal with.
Would have loved to hear your thoughts on them if you would have purchased them. There are some guys in this forum who listened to Vox 3F at the California Audio Show in Oakland in 2019 (there is a separate link to the discussion) but none of them have posted any detailed impressions of them. I will try to tag them in this thread for their detailed impressions.
@pumper24 , @auxinput if you could post your detailed impressions of Vox 3F that you heard at California Audio Show, that would be very helpful as actual user impressions of these are a rarity.

Only saw the same so called pro reviews,nothing from anyone with ears on experience & didn't think to contact the maker.
 I'll also keep an eye out for more info on these but honestly I doubt I can do better than the Lumina without moving past $10,000.00...
@freediver thanks for the info. IMO Comparing a floor stander to bookshelf won't be a fair comparison. I had heard some Olympica floor stander at a show which was driven by some McIntosh integrated amp. Good sounding speaker, perfect for jazz or other relaxed music. But it had treble roll off for my taste (sparkle was missing on some of test tracks that I use for treble extension/harshness).
I saw this loudspeaker at the audio show 2 years ago, so I can’t tell you more than I liked it and felt it was one of the better loudspeakers at the show in terms of tonal balance. It was small and very expensive for what it was, but then being a boutique item, I can understand how they’d have to charge that much for it given a small production run.

I’m a mid-range freak. For me the most important thing in a loudspeaker that the mid-range do a good job on voices and acoustic instruments. The demo recordings I bring are voices and instruments I know well.

I still think a DIY project using that Tang-Band full-range driver could be a lot of bang for the buck, especially if you add in a good DSP EQ like the miniDSP DDRC-24.   There are a couple of things you could do with this driver.  One would be to use it as the heart of an open baffle system.  The other would be to get enough of them to make up an open baffle line array.   That could be loads of fun.

One more thing.   If you're really thinking of spending the $6700 they were asking for that loudspeaker at the show, I think this used pair of the Avalon Opus would be a much better value.   They are my own "wet-dream" loudspeaker.
