Avantgarde in NYC?


There used to be a shop on 23rd St or 24th street that had these speakers and Manley gear. They seem to have disappeared? Any info?

You're thinking of Rhapsody on West 24th (www.rhapsodynyc.com). I don't know if they're still representing Avantgarde and Manley, as neither is currently listed on their site. If you give Bob a call, I'm sure he'll fill you in.
I don't think they represent Avantgarde any more. For a while, I think they were doing Acapella- and now, they seem to be devoted to Goldmund systems. I'm not sure there is an authorized dealer in NYC. As to Manley, I was forced to buy my Steelhead from the infamous Andy Singer, who I was told was the only authorized dealer for the city.
Rhapsody Music & Cinema is still located at 27 West 24th Street, Suite 506. We sell Joseph Audio, Hyperion and Goldmund speakers.

There is a new Avantgarde distributor that is listed on the Avantgarde Acoustics website. He is located in CA and would have the latest info. on Avantgarde's plans for NYC.

By the way, I really appreciate you taking time and allowing me a listen when I visited your dealership in March, Bob. You were a most generous host.
