I use xlr pads for my amp to speaker connection and they work perfectly fine. They cause no degradation of sound quality.
10 watt amps DO NOT give you the full potential of the Duo's no matter what others have said. 10 watt and tube amps will give a particular sound but not without consequences.
I am running the Pass Labs XA30.8 with much better results than a 20 watt amp I have tried already.
I just ordered trios and I might sell my Duo's in cade anyone wants to send me a message. I really love the Avantgarde horn sound and I may never buy another pair of main speakers again... Although owning a pair of ribbon tweeter based sprakers somewhere in my house is tempting.
