Avantagrde UNO w/ CJ Premier 8

If there aren't noise issues (too much hum or hiss) without music playing, then the Premier 8 amps should work fine. If they don't, I have a very nice TAD-803 tube amp with only 30Wpc in triode, that I would be willing to trade for your Premier 8's. :)

But I wouldn't necessarily blow the chance to buy those speakers just because you think your CJ amps may not be the best match. If they turn out to be a poor match, heck, just sell them and buy what you need!

Horn speakers, more so than dynamic-driver speakers, need to be very carefully matched to the room they are used in. You also have the issue raised by Plato about possible excessive noise with a highly efficient speaker being paired with potent tube monoblocks.

Perhaps Avantegarde addresses the issue of room size and compatability on its website (assuming it has a website).

Thanks Raquel/Pluto - I am very compromised as far as room space since I virtualy use the living room as an audio room (or is it the other side around?..jejeje)

This same guy is offering me a pair of N801, what do you think?, will it be an upgrade from my Avalon Eclipse baseline?

Thanks.
