Considering a change. Avantgarde for Wilson.


Have owned Avantgarde Duos for two years. Bass to die for.
Bright up top. Maybe just a bit glarry. Been reading and
wondering if a change to Wilson Puppy's would be good.
Am I "BMW" owner looking at a "Mercedes"? Or, am I just
a spoiled brat? Hit me, Guys.

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
Most definately: Get some curtains up in front of those windows. Standing waves are a killer, wreaking havoc on everything you are trying to achieve with your high-end system.
I can chime in on the merits of the Omega upgrade - money well spent, considering your already substantial investment - but would address room issues first. I too use Lamm amps and am very satisfied.
