Avantagrde UNO w/ CJ Premier 8

Horn speakers, more so than dynamic-driver speakers, need to be very carefully matched to the room they are used in. You also have the issue raised by Plato about possible excessive noise with a highly efficient speaker being paired with potent tube monoblocks.

Perhaps Avantegarde addresses the issue of room size and compatability on its website (assuming it has a website).

Thanks Raquel/Pluto - I am very compromised as far as room space since I virtualy use the living room as an audio room (or is it the other side around?..jejeje)

This same guy is offering me a pair of N801, what do you think?, will it be an upgrade from my Avalon Eclipse baseline?

Thanks.

Regarding Raquel's point on room matching vs. cone speakers - I feel that this is incorrect, except for needing to sit 12' or more away for the Uno drivers to properly integrate. One of the many great things about the Avantgardes is that, due to their limited dispersion (compared to cones), the distance to sidewalls is not critical; coupled with the adjustable output level & crossover point of the subs, this makes Avantgardes much EASIER to place with regard to room boundaries. And as long as your room is 200 SF or more, no worries.

keep the cj and look for another pair of fullrange speakers

Heard the AvantGardes UNO last night!!

goshhhhhh!!
