Avantgarde Speakers

They breathe life into music like nothing I have ever heard. I had a guy here recently that was listening to them and he went into my CD's and pulled out a copy of a circa 1980 Linda Rondstadt. I shuddered because while it's an OK recording....it isn't Diana Krall. I would not choose it to show off the speaker. I had not heard this disc for a while. But the Duos made it come alive like nothing else I had heard. A nice bi-product.

Upscaleaudio: Are you familiar with Ohm speakers? If you are I would appreciate a comparison to the Avantgardes. I know that the Avantgarde speakers will play much louder due their greater effieciency. I appreciate your opinion because of the caliber of your company.

I have listened to the Avantgarde Trios. In short, I think that their sound is colored. However, I can easily understand how one would be impressed by the sound they reproduced if it is their only experience with sphaerical horn (the same is true for the entire Avantgarde line). For anyone who is seriously considering a speaker like the Avantgarde Trios, I would advice them to take a look at another German Manaufacturer called Acapella Audio Arts. The Avantgardes are nothing but a badly done copy of an idea pioneered be Acapella. I don't think that there is a U.S distributor for the Acapellas yet; however, the In my opinion the Acapellas are some of the best speakers money can buy. In my opinion, anyone who raves about the Avantgardss has never listend to Acapella.
