I've booked a demo.....

Shame, Argon 3S can be had in about 7-10 days from Finland, and I’ve have loaned you mine to try out, as they’d certainly be a more direct comparison

That's good of you. Truth I've found a speaker that really tugs my rug.

Best wishes, PP.

Any update on availability?

No further updates as yet. Don't expect any as the lead time could be around 3 months, according to the dealer. How long is a piece of string?

Twice the length from the middle to one end measured along the piece of said string.....

What is the price? , I've noticed some places with stock are charging £1899, £200 over list price

Ah, a stringy pun.😁

Yeah, to be expected I suppose. The cost of these are £1699.

Yh. RS can supply black within a couple of weeks. It's the traditional wood colours Dali are struggling with. Anyway I've given a deposit.
They had black on the demo

Thanks

Enough time to take up David's offer and demo the Argon 3S in the meantime. 😉

Correct. But given the price difference, the Dalis tick all the boxes (pun intended). Sound is superb and the price is within budget....just.

agree that if you really like the Dalis then it is doubtful that the Amphions will offer £600 worth of improvement......

Indeed. Apparently, so I've read on various sites, the Amphion 3S aren't an improvement on the Argon 1, other than deeper bass. Deeper bass isn't a priority.
Those little Argon 1 were superb. But on comparison with the Rubis they fell a little short. (My daughter came on that demo preferred the Rubicon 2s.)

I'm guessing they would be an improvement in a larger room, the Argon 1 can only fill so much space adequately. I am hoping to audition the 3s at some point.

When you do I'm sure you won't be disappointed. If the Argon 1 are anything to go by the 3S should tickle your fancy. Like you I'm guessing as I've not heard 3S.

If you do, blag a pair of Rubicon 2s. You'll know why I like them so much.

Not yet. I phoned them end of last week. I may just go with the Amphion Argon 1 if it's too much longer. The Argon dealer said there's a 7-10 days delivery, any colour.

Knowing me, I'll order the Argons and the Dalis will turn up. Hey-ho.

Be patient.
You're doing well so far, a bit longer won't hurt.

I've been gnawing at my finger nails for some time. Almost passed my knuckles

About a week ago I saw on eBay a pair of white Rubicon 2 for £850 buy it now or best offer! They looked absolutely pristine. I was pretty tempted myself.
Needless to say they were gone when I next looked. I don't know about you but with speakers and buying from someone with good feedback and showing good clean images, I'd be happy to buy 2nd hand, especially with prices shooting up all over the shop!

Thanks for that. Really don't want black or white. I'm quite a traditionalist when it comes to colours. The dealer can offer me those, it's the other colours they have a dearth of.
