I own UNO 2.2's. I currently listen to them in a 11 X 19' room. They actually sound good because the directivity of the horns causes less sidewall interaction than a typical conventional loudspeaker. I think that 300B's would be great with the speaker. I have 2A3's and 45's and they sing. My speakers are about 18 to 24" from sidewalls and the front of the horns are about 48 - 54 inches from the front wall. I listen about 8' from the front of the horns. Proper toe in and horn tilt is necessary as well as tweeter height to maximize the sound. I know that my set up is compromising the sound somewhat, but it can only get better in a larger room. The realism is terrific! I would buy the speakers!!
Avantgarde UNO's 2.2 advice needed
Hi,
I wanted advice from avantgarde users regarding the UNO’s 2.2.
I recently auditioned them and was astounded by the clarity, resolution and the low level detail of these speaker’s they were miles better then my Dynaudio 1.3SE(which I think are bloody bland when compared to the UNO’s) the UNO’s to me threw a massive soundstage with pin-point imaging, the presentation was in your face right there, not the laid back sound I’m used to but in no way fatiguing, these were one of the most involving speakers I have heard.
I heard the UNO’s with the Nagra’s and the Jadis amps and metronome front-end, with the nagras the high’s were cold close to harsh but the mid-range was something I had never experienced before. With the Jadis the sound was more balanced the highs were sweet but at the expense of the mid-range(not bad sounding at all but not the same as the nagras).
Now I have been offered a fantastic deal on these speakers which has got me thinking if I should take the plunge and buy them, but there are a few things that are holding me back;
My room size is 12*24 and my listing position is about 7 1/5ft from the speakers and the speaker’s are placed 6ft apart with a RPTV in between(soon would be getting rid of it thou). To me I think this would be rather too close to listen to the UNO’s correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m planning on using a 300B amp to power them with my Audio Aero Prima DAC MKII running direct into the amp, would this setup sound good in my room? Or I’m better of waiting and buying something else.
I have been offered this at almost half the retail.(Demo)
Thanks,
Satyam.
