Amp to match Avantgarde Uno G2 horn speakers

At this year CES Avantgarde were using their own Class A solid state Model 3 integrated amp. 1.1 Wt/Ch. with G2 Duo.
The sound in that room was one of the best. I kept coming back all 4 days of the show.
The speakers play rock like there is no tomorrow- the best of the show. And I'm not talking about James Taylor or Eagles- they played AC/DC, Rammstein.
Of course, they play all kinds of music extremely well- very open, live, dynamic and completely free of any box colorations sound, with abundance of detail and nuances.

A friend has a pair and uses a custom Brazilian made tube amp with BAT preamp, he likes the combination very much. Sorry I don't know the name of the amp.

the brazilian amp should be Audiopax.

The Audiopax and the Viva Audio SET from Italy are the best matches I've ever heard with Avantguard speakers.

Hi Jtein,

I owned Avantgarde Duos for four years and have owned Duo Primos for the past four years. I must have owned and/or demoed a couple of dozen amplifiers with Avantgarde loudspeakers. Amplifer noise is the main issue with Avantgarde loudspeakers. Many amps are just too noisy to be used with Avantgarde loudspeakers. Tube amps that sounded good with Avantgarde's were: Cyrus Brenneman Cavalier Plus, Audiopax Model 88's, Art Audio PX-25, Wyetech Sapphires, and BAT VK-75SE. Solid-state amplifers that sounded good with my Avantgarde's were: Pass Aleph 3, Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2, First watt F3, Resolution Audio S-30, and Avantgarde Model 3 and Model 5+. I love the way tube amps sound, but can't stand the maintenance and reliability issues associated with them. I'm currently running a Great Northern Sound Reference modded Resolution Audio S-30 with my Duo Primos and it sounds fantastic! Good luck!

Thanks guys for sharing your thoughts....very helpful!
