I heard the DUOS on two seperate occassions. The first time I heard them, they were in a poor room but I was extremely impressed at how effortless they were. I came very close to buying them but decided to wait. I then got the itch again a few months later and went to hear them a second time at a different dealer who had them set up in a much better room. Upon critical listening, they had a very skewed midrange and absolutely no quality imaging. They became even less impressive to me when we fired up the Avalon Eidolon in the same room and the Eidolon's blew them away in every aspect. Had I not heard them the second time, I probably would have made the mistake of replacing my B&W Silver Signatures 30s with the Avantegardes.
