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.

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.

The midrange is spectacular. The bass doesn't capture the lowest octave but I don't every feel like I'm missing much. My dedicated room is 17 x 27 and they perform wonderfully. I'm sure one or two subs would improved things but I haven't really felt the need. When properly set up the speakers simply disappear which is what first attracted me to the Virgos. You won't be disappointed except fpr one precaution. They will absolutely reveal any problems present in upstream components.

Seems to always be changing. For now, a current production Audible Illusions M3A tube preamp, Audio Electronic Supply SixPac tube monoblocks and a TNT-6 Hotrod with Wheaton Triplanar VII and Helikon SL cartridge. Amps and preamps change. The speakers and turntable are here for the long haul.
