Considering a change. Avantgarde for Wilson.

Bgordon,
Of course it comes down to personal taste and whatever makes your ears happy and puts a smile on your face. I have Duos and, as you know, setup is critical with these speakers. While they have never failed to please, I can relate to a little high end glare on some material even though I perceived it more as having just a little too much bite on aggressively recorded material. When I did the Omega upgrade, the sound was much improved, better detail yet more relaxed and coherent. Absolutely no "bite". The upgrade is not just a small small step but a substantial improvement and worth the investment. Keep your "BMW".

Thanks All. The Duos remain. My amps are SET, Lamms.
They stay. Just added the Placette passive remote. It
is fresh air, a big improvement. Ah, yes, room treatment.
There's the rub. Awkward room with mirrors, windows,
odd shape. Rugs and soft furniture but poor location for
my needs and no drapes on large expanse of windows curved
to reflect back into the room. They focus the sound back.
Probably the worstest config. Have not heard of the
Omega upgrade. I'd pay for a set-up maven to advise me
in-house. Have floundered in hi-fi for forty years
without learning anything. I can tie my own shoes, though.

As others have noted, these are quite different speakers. Both can be quite fussy about setup and precise location. But, if your overall concern was with excessive brightness, there is no question that the Wilsons would be the wrong direction. Add to that, the difficulty of driving the Wilsons with Lamm amps. The 93 db/w efficiency of the Wilsons, while fairly high, hardly tells the story. These are quite difficult speakers to drive.

Thanks for your responce. Driving the system with Lamm
mono amps. Costly but from the best! SET.
Room treatment needs much attention. LAT Int'l inter-
connects. ML 390S processor. Tweaking is the answer,
I am getting from the fellows. Thanks.

considering your room explanations anything is a toss up then, so make it optimal for any speaker would be the key.. The omega upgrade would help I am sure as well.. its pretty heavy on improvments from what I read.. see the 6 moons writeup on it if you have not really good reading, and not sure the link will post here without being blocked, it has colored pictures and intricate details of the involved omega equipment as well.
Good luck
