I found a couple of birds and Avantgarde made them :)

Had to boast a little ...

( yes they are excellent )

I will come back in a couple of weeks with a more sober performance review .

I have one 18" sealed sub with DSP and one ported 12" also DSP controlled .

me to have spent much time in Stockholm , lived there between 2002-2007 and I loved it . got a new job and ended up in Gothenburg found a girl (wife since 10 years) and i´m still here .

I went for the black speaker with black tubing .

 

sorry , I miss spelled the name and i am still a little love drunk wink

you are all most welcome to visit , its about 6 hour flight from NY to Gothenburg from there its a 45 min drive =)

play any songs you want at any level your ears can handle !!

to reply Jon , the sound differs a bit from the other avantgardes since its more like a source point . ( I know its not a source point its a MTM config )

in most parts you they sound very much avantgarde but in a smaller package and

you need to add a subwoofer or 2 .

they are not cheap here in the eu I can only imagine the price point in the states ..

I paid about $8k inc tax here in sweden .

( and yes the look is something you get used to , but the sound and image is superb.)

I already had excellent subwoofers so the avantgarde subs wasn't on the chart . 

I could tell you that I've updated the crossovers with a marvellous result ( very cheap parts originally) I could post pics of the original and the updated but it's not quite fair to the engineers that probably spend alot of time developing the speaker only to have the economy department debunk the project.  So I just changed all parts with the same value to mundorf and audyn parts 🙃.  It's astonishing what a couple of hundred bucks do 😁

I'm sorry, but I haven't compared them to other horns at least not side by side .

I can tell you that I have compared them to my other speakers dynaudio contour 60 ,martin logan sequel II and colibri are more fun and engaging!
