Avantgarde Speakers

khrys you really are hurting the feminist movement. Stupid women don't get anyones respect. Now if you knew something about audio fine. Usually what women have going for them in this hobby is a good set of ears. I think you've got sand in yours. Sand is fine for speaker cabinets but lousy for brain cavities. Take heart though, at least you have one cavity that gets filled. As for you sean, phill merely pointed out the facts. If you weren't so damn dumb they would have been obvious from the getgo. I applaud Avantgarde for constantly improving what is already supposed to be a very good product. Some people don't like progress and sean you appear to be one of those. An education helps. I suggest you get one.

I think the older duos can be updated to the newest spec, the only difference seemed to be in the subwoofers - the 217 being the older one and the 222 being the newer. the 222s were what I heard I believe, and sounded great. I need to go give them another listen. THey were powered off of 47 Laboratory electronics, btw.

Joe, let me guess, you don't have a woman in your life. Oh-maybe you don't need one.

I am surprised to see that people still found this discussion. Does anyone know if the speaker's frequency response has been tested in an anechoic chamber? Preferably by a third party.

7p62mm: y do u care if these double-ugly speaks have been tested in an anechoic chamber? do u live in a converted missle silo or something? i've listened to the duos & trios with a number of different electronics. truth is: horns is horns and these honk like all the rest. perhaps that is y they are painted with automotive (audi/porsche) enamals.
