Audio Physic Avanti Century vs Avanti III


I have an opportunity to get some Avanti Century speakers, but I don't see much information on that model. It looks like it was fairly short-lived, replaced by the Avanti III's. Does anyone know what differences there are between them? It looks like a pretty big increment from the II's to the Centuries, but not much information is available for the next increment.
Thanks.

i have the libra's and they quite good... however they are very critical of setup and equipment not to mention they need a really big room.

in really looking at it - i think they are one of the better speaker bargains out there if you got the room and high quality gear.
Very good job on providing the background on this line, Tim!

Can you give us a comparison of the Avanti Century vs the Avanti III, please? I realize were now back to the original question, but I would appreciate your insight.
All this feedback has been very good - thanks! Now would anyone care to comment on how the Avanti V compares? The configuration looks similar to the III, with two mid range and two pairs of woofers. Big differences seem to be the new tweeter and a new cabinet design AP claims obviates the need for damping material. Is the result superior sound or not? And I'm still hoping to hear how the sound of the Century compares with the III. That seems to be a much bigger difference in configuration - single mid, single pair of smaller woofs - but I also know that more isn't always better, often it's not.
