to reply Jon , the sound differs a bit from the other avantgardes since its more like a source point . ( I know its not a source point its a MTM config )

in most parts you they sound very much avantgarde but in a smaller package and

you need to add a subwoofer or 2 .

That’s alcohol, abuse, and for that I am forever sorry,

curiousjim   Damn--you made me spit my Irish whiskey all over the living room!

Man, these things look like space heaters- even more so than my beloved QUAD loudspeakers (which I’ve owned since 1974, with sympathetic restoration from Kent McCollum).

I do have a pair of Avantgarde Duos that I bought new back in 2006 or so.

Coupled with the right upstream components the AGs can sound wonderful.

This new model--  given the now high cost of AG in the States- is the company’s effort at a lower priced line?

they are not cheap here in the eu I can only imagine the price point in the states ..

I paid about $8k inc tax here in sweden .

( and yes the look is something you get used to , but the sound and image is superb.)

hope nobody spat out this excellent Irish .
