@fosolitude yep. I am sure we met at CAF 2019.
Avantgardes are a pain to setup. With the powered bass, you have a ton of flexibility in terms of DSP to get the bass just right and timed perfectly but by extension it is not speedy and super easy.
Placement though is a breeze. For demo, when I have them setup here I have the left speaker tucked into a corner. Because of its directional nature they are easy to get into a room. Corners, windows. No problem.
There are exceptions within the line though. There is a ported Uno, the Uno Fino, is actually quite difficult to place but that is more the exception rather than the rule.
