YG Acoustics vs. Avantgarde Duo series comparison?

I've been hearing them for years at the CES shows. They are very transparent and super revealing of the upstream components. Like Magico, they're good hifi, just not my cup of tea. I guess I prefer a more "lively" sound. Anyway I don't know why I'm posting on a YG vs. Avantgarde discussing, its totally ridiculous. Horns are a unique sound, loved by some, hated by many.

Vandersteen 5A's ARE one of my favorites BTW.

I've owned Avantgarde Duos 2.1 for several years and currently own Avantgarde Duo Primos. I have listened to the YG's at several shows during the last couple of years. I like both of them. I think they have a lot in common. They are both very dynamic and detailed. They both have fantastic fit and finish. I feel the the YG's are slightly drier sounding then the current Avantgarde loudspeakers that utilize the 18 ohm Alnico drivers. Obviously, you're going to have to listen for yourself to determine which loudspeaker your prefer. As far as getting opinions, you might want to ignore those internet genius's who are self-proclaimed experts in loudspeaker design. You know, the guys who have mega bucks invested in their system, but don't have enough common sense to invest in and treat their listening environment. Anyway, good luck!

Thank you Brawny and others for your comments. I will go out and listen to both, as well as a few other brands I have in mind.

Jeff1225 I prefer the Don the BeachCombers, long swim to Oahu.
Have also heard the YGs numerous times, can we say overrated and overpriced.

Speaker measurements tell 90% of what a speak is! Try to look around for those! IMHO
