Alternative to Avantgarde Uno?

Is there anyone out there in A'gon land who has owned a pair of Unos that eventually found something that they preferred? I love the Avantgarde's effortless, dynamic sound but I cant afford a brand new pair and most that come up for sale used are either out of my price range ($6k), they dont have the original shipping crates, (which run about $1,000) or want to sell them locally because I guess they are just a huge pain to pack and ship. My source is a Meridian 508.24. Amplification is a Jeff Rowland Concentra. My listening room is 21'x11', so it would have to be a full range speaker. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Owned the duo 2.2 upgraded to a dual opris 150 horn much better than my avantgarde duo ,cost arround $9500 to build with dual 150 horns tweeter and dual 16in woofer towers with out board crossover and amps .Sounds close to the new trio.JK

get the unos at the best price. They are the best speakers you will ever find for the rest of your life.

I have a "former" Avante Garde dealer who is selling his Uno's to buy VMPS RM40s from me.

The Solo sounds different than the rest of the AGs, and some may or may not like it. From what I have heard, people who had conventional cone based speakers much prefer the Solo. I love my pair, that is for sure. H ave thought about Unos, but just too big for my space.
