avantgarde uno & duo

Gotta love horns, makes me hornie

the unos and duos are unique and a conversation piece, but not the equal of the khorn or the belle as horns go.

OH man, this is gonna get good...lol

I do agree that Avantgardes if not properly set up will not preform to it's fullest. I think it would be safe to say "that all goes for any speaker". That being said, it would be very sad to say that those trios that I've heard was not properly setup or maybe they were, who knows--it was not my listening room. All I can remmeber is that the fellow who had them had an easy 150k of gears in that room. If you guys claim that my bad experience with AV was due to bad setup--then I would really like to hear them in a listening room with the right gears. I travel a lot and I will be in the Jersey, New York city area a week from now. Is there any dealers of Avantgardes in that area where I can have a listening session. Maybe my feelings for these speakers will change after all. Unless they are not properly setup again.

Rhapsody Audio in NYC is a dealer. They also carry Joseph Audio speakers. Very different sounding from the Avantgard's but still state of the art.

How can two speakers ... essentially state of the art, each trying to capture "perfect sound", each designed with real live music in mind, with the same standard to try and replicate ... sound so damn different?

Enjoy,
