Arion Apollo is just so huge and ugly




While I do think the $25K price is a bargain for what you get, how many of us have families who can agree to have this in their house?

Now, the smaller models listed on Arion website do look interesting, but where did you read that Apollo AMT tower does not have a crossover? To me, it looks like they are using an outboard DSP box to set the crossover for the AMT towers as well as woofer box, so every signal, even phono, has to go through extra A-D then D-A conversion in the DSP crossover box.

IMO what the world needs is a well-engineered DSP crossover box with UPGRADABLE internal DAC module to avoid the extra A-D/D-A step. The internal DAC's sound quality has to match current SOTA DAC's but be physically removable and upgradable, so people don't feel like they will be stuck with outdated DAC in the future.
