Anyone use Audio Physic Avanti III?


Hi, does anyone have experience with Audio Physic speakers and the Avanti III? I just heard this speaker at my dealer and they sounded great. Warm yet detailed. Great soundstage. I dont know anything about this company. What associated gear do people use with their Audio Physic speakers? What do you like/dislike about them? What should I be aware of when considering Audio Physics? I heard the Avanti III with BAT pre and amp. I am leaning towards using Ayre components. Does anyone see anything wrong with this setup?

Thanks in advance.

The Avanti III appears to be a VERY highly regarded speaker. There are several owners who have posted here on Audiogon, and they're a very happy bunch, it seems. Here's a link to another thread where the question about whether the Audio Physic line was "bright" or "forward".

The sense I got from the owners who posted was that the answer is "no". Detailed perhaps, but not annoyingly bright, from what I've read. I once heard the old, three box Calderas, and they were phenomenal. So, although I haven't personally heard the Avanti III's, it's hard for me to envision anyone seriously regretting having purchased them.

I've used Audio Physic for years. Started with the Virgos and moved to the Avanti IIIs a couple of years ago. I've never heard anything I liked more for the money. Great performance top to bottom. I prefer tube gear but the Ayre stuff is really good. The best I ever heard with them is Jadis but it's out of my budget.
mdhoover and narrod: thank you very much for the response.

narrod, how do you find the mid and bass? i have heard that the avanti is light in those areas. also, did you audition other speakers? i am also looking at Sonus Faber Cremona and Vienna Acoustics. if i am looking for a warm yet detailed sound would you say the avanti iii is a good choice?
