Owned AG horns prefer Altec RCA etc
Avant-garde speakers
Has anyone had any experience with Avant-garde speakers? Specifically, I am thinking of buying a pair of Uno Nano speakers to pair with my First Watt J2 amplifier. The system will be used in a rather small bedroom (15' x 15'). Also, the speakers are about 9 years old and selling for about 1/2 the new cost. I guess what I am interested in is whether these speakers will work in this situation, and what can I expect in terms of performance in a 9-year old Avant-garde speaker. Do they sound good at low to very low volume? i currently use a pair of YG Carmels. Can I expect them to be reliable at this age? Any input would be appreciated.

For horn based systems I prefer updated vintage. I have a few complete examples of the best designs in horns. RCA MI Shearer horn is a amazing thing to hear and behold its in a complete different level of performance over AG designs. AG is nice since you can just check book them but if wanting the best in horns you need hands on and a good bit of experience http://www.audioheritage.org/html/profiles/lmco/shearer.htm |
