Avante Garde horn speakers.....


Any impressions?

AWSOME! Once you try them you will never be satisfied with anything else. Of course they have flaws, everything does. Their plus so outweigh the minuses that the flaws are irrelevant. Don't listen unless you are prepared to buy. Boato2
Their home page lists the speakers frequency response but gives no measure of 'flatness'. I am looking forward to a formal technical analysis of them in one of the Audiophile rags. This may seem academic as everybody who has heard them seems to really like them. However; I would want this information before I would be willing to buy a pair as we aren't talking about chump change here. The Avantgarde home office is in Cumming GA. I have asked a buddy of mine who lives in Cumming to check them out. Will let you know what he has to say later.
Boato2 I was hoping that there would be a few more comments. It may be due to the fact that these are relatively new speakers and that not many have experience with them.
I was hoping for more responses as well. I did listen to these at a show (not the best place to listen) and I was shocked at how good these are. I've heard no speakers put the musicians in front of you as these do. Great transparency, and very "live" sounding. They also open up some great possibilities in terms of amp matching, 300B lovers take notice of this. A great party speaker if you ever need it to be, everyone at the show just loved these.
the treble and midrange are very good,but the lower frequency's do not blend well with the mids and treble.
