Avantgarde Uno's and duo's

Is there a big difference in performance in these two models from Avantgardes?
In one of the threads that asks members which is the best speaker they ever heard the duo was mentioned 15 times, and the uno only twice! In world class performance is the duo that much better than the uno? If I have a smaliish room am I better off with the uno?

To my ear, the primary difference is that the lower x-over frequency of the Duo
makes the woofer integration a bit tidier. As to room size, the horns on both
the Uno and the Duo have limited dispersion and can be used near the
boundaries in smallish rooms. Personally though, I prefer either speaker when
it's pulled away from the walls a bit since, IMHO, the imaging improves.

Again, IMHO, if the sub integration on the Uno works for you, the Duo may not
justify the extra $.
