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.

john. Are you talking about a speaker or a driver?  I could not find a reference to Altec RCA
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
reminds me of Siemens Bionor with huge baffle
reg the Avantgarde I agree with JK after having lived with the Trio and different custom bass systems for years
what A did for the resurrection of commercial horn interest is great, but you need to look elsewhere to get a seamlessly integrated fullrange hornsystem
probably some level of DIY which is a long and narrow path...
