Definitely big difference. In fact i posion the owner to upgrade further to flat copper foil inductor soak in wax for more harmonics n separation..hehe
i have removed the tweeter bypass cap 0.1uf as its not needed since the new main value caps are of similar grade unless its a sonic teflon caps.

the speaker will be at my place in PJ till this sat only. Owner taking them back. Ur welcome to drop by for an audition

And Chance GRABBED!

The Speaker sounds... FANTASTIC

For THAT price range and the size the sound is AMAZING!!!

The detail, VERY TRANSPARENT!!!!

I am sure the setup had something to do with that...

Now that I have the chance to listen to the "upgraded" version, I really look forward to hearing it before the upgrade.

MR LIM!!! When is your set arriving!!!!

Seriously people, especially the ones who are looking for your first pair of Hifi speakers, seriously consider this!!!

Quazacolt,

Frankly, the main selling point of XLS Encore is its bass.

Class D has passed class A/B over the years in overall performance. Now class D overtake the older class in every aspect.  If heat, weight, space and cost are given their proper weighting in overall performance, then it isn't even close. However, most uncle rarely  embrace any kind of change, they will hug their 50kg amps and call them the best forever. I feel funny when people people claiming how A/B is so superior, sound like technology hasn't evolved in the last 10-20 years to make an amp sound good. Just me personal opinion.

I came from AB, tube to class D. 

Please do, when you audition the Encore, pay attention to its high, mid and low registers.  Feel their harmony fusion.
Bring along your favorite music: jazz, pop, rock... see if they can live up to your standard

Will very special price for West Malaysian, RM1290.

We are not changing to AG completely, just that we are having another new option for customers for different need and interest.
Please contact us if you are interested either one of them.

We will try to update our website by the end of the month. Very busy these days.

Both are good speakers for the price.
If you want a speaker for small room, not so much clearance to the wall and look good on the table top, you can opt for AG.
If you want a deeper bass where you have bigger space, you can opt for XLS Encore. Encore need some clearance between the wall to sound good.
