Considering a change. Avantgarde for Wilson.


Have owned Avantgarde Duos for two years. Bass to die for.
Bright up top. Maybe just a bit glarry. Been reading and
wondering if a change to Wilson Puppy's would be good.
Am I "BMW" owner looking at a "Mercedes"? Or, am I just
a spoiled brat? Hit me, Guys.

I have a pair of Unos and do not experience any brightness or glare, I would not trade for wilsons as your speakers when set up properly are state of the art and outperform any Wilson.Make sure that your room is properly treated, this is very important, do not use any silver speaker cables or jumpers as they are bright on Avantgardes. I use Mit Bi-wire, low going to the bass, high to the midrange, with a Mit Magnum jumper from midrange to tweeter. Get the best Mit cables you can afford.Use an Set amp, I use an Art Audio Diavolo, and your system should sing.Remember that the problems you are experiencing are system related, not the speakers. When everything is set up right the speakers are unbelievable.

Once again, treat your room, get curtains for all that glass, some asc tube traps for the corners,some half traps at the first reflection points, some room tune corner traps at the ceiling, Then walk around the room and clap you hands, wherever you can hear a slap echo, treat that area at the ceiling. You have invested so much money in your system it is a shame not to be able to hear it perform at its best.Once your room is properly treated you will not believe the difference, only then would I consider the omega upgrade and only if you have the itch to upgrade.
