Avantgarde Uno's Or Klipsch La Scala MKII

Br3098. You are not alone. I responded to another recent post by Renmeister. As far as Johnk is concerned, I take nothing away from his experiences, opinions and technical back ground. I take nothing away from anyone who does not like Lascalas, or, horns for that matter. We are all men/women with ears. We are all "looking for something" in our pursuit of nirvana. I have 40 plus years involved in this hobby, as well as my livelihood for many of them. For a "sound reinforcement" speaker to find its way into many homes over the years, by folks like you and me, and many musicians and other music listeners/audiophiles I have known over the years, shows the versatility and excellent design of the Lascala. I really like the statement by Bill Lowe of Audioquest: "To do less harm". I make the point of saying " To each his own " . Let us all enjoy !

I value all your opinions and thank you for taking the time. It's difficult purchasing new speakers. I had closed my mind to the possibility of horns until I listened emotionaly as opposed analytical. Not something I do to often. I believe this was a result of the speakers. I can't afford the Avantgarde with the half horn bass cabinet. They sell for $50K with no U.S. distributor. I don't have that kinda cash nor would I ever purchase a product with out recourse.

Renmeister, you can get Avantgardes without the Basshorns for circa $20K new (Unos) or used Duos for a similar outlay. They are a long-established German company and mine have been trouble-free for the 8+ years I've owned them.

Renmeister, you called me twice 10 days ago and then emailed me again yesterday. I have returned your phone calls and returned your emails, but have not heard back from you.

I AM an Avantgarde dealer and have been for over 10 years. I handle service and warranty issues for all of my Avantgarde customers, of which there are many. And that includes Avantgarde customers throughout the US.
