Avantagrde UNO w/ CJ Premier 8

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.

Fernando

Regarding Raquel's point on room matching vs. cone speakers - I feel that this is incorrect, except for needing to sit 12' or more away for the Uno drivers to properly integrate. One of the many great things about the Avantgardes is that, due to their limited dispersion (compared to cones), the distance to sidewalls is not critical; coupled with the adjustable output level & crossover point of the subs, this makes Avantgardes much EASIER to place with regard to room boundaries. And as long as your room is 200 SF or more, no worries.

keep the cj and look for another pair of fullrange speakers

Heard the AvantGardes UNO last night!!

goshhhhhh!!

Power is not an issue at all, however your gain could be very high with the preamp, and in turn with noisey tubes will show you this, you might not get to high on the dial either, I heard the Duo's put with a 40 watt intergrated solid state and it was excellent, however you could not turn up much past 1/4 knob.
