Avantgarde Trio replacing Dunlavy SC-V?

Hi folks, I have big problems with room acoustics. In my listening room there are a few very nasty room modes and I can't get rid of them. My current speakers are Dunlavy SC-Vs (sealed d'Appolito design). I'm contemplating to replace them with designs with less bass output capability, like electrostats or... horns! In the later case the Avantgarde Trios come to mind. Maybe I could do a set up without subwoofer(s), so there would be far less bass (I think in case of the AG, there is a natural bass roll off from 100Hz, which should be better for my room). What do you think? I'm aware I'm comparing apples with pears, but do you think the AG Trios could be the solution? Thank you in advance.

I agree with Onhwy61 and they will like prescribe ASC tube traps to alleviate your bass problems.

I've only heard the IV/A but those speakers when driven properly do have huge macrodynamics/bass that requires room management but on the other hand if you can swing the Trios with bass horns (not the ctrl subs) then that moves you closer to that elusive goal of sounding like music and you could save a bit by using less room treatments.

Good Luck!*>)
