My prior system was a full Cello system driving the B&W 800's. Nice sound.
I was on a mission to improve on that sound so I was looking at the Dunlavy VI's in contrast to the 800's. Well, during my quest for better sound I came across the Avantgarde Duo's.
As I listen to World Music with a lot of female vocals, percussion, drums, etc. there is a certain sound I seek out - the Duo's do it!
I would like to suggest that you audition the Duos before making any decisions.
Yes, a major departure from the Dunlavy sound, but what an improvement to my ear.
Recently a close friend and I went to a friends home who has the VI armed with a collection of my reference CD's to again confirm or disprove my earlier impressions - the Duo's won hands down!
