fair price for Avant Garde Duo 2.2

IIRC the ".2" designation meant the lacquered woofer cabinets, which look much nicer than the Nextel ones.

I'd ask about $9K if you have the lacquered woofer cabinets, or $8,500 if you have the Nextel woofer cabinets.

Sorry you have to sell - I'd consider moving first!

Sounds like you are committed to selling so I won't try to talk you down from the cliff, but I am curious (since I own a pair of Duos of slightly later vintage and after a lot of fiddling with placement, settings and associated equipment, really love them). In my experience, I don't listen at ear shattering levels (although of course the Duos can play loud). Their virtue is their ability to handle the dynamics with so-called 'jump factor.' What is often 'penetrating' to neighbors in an apartment or shared wall situation is the bass. And just wondering, what you will replace them with, since, accepting my assumptions above, you may have the same issue with virtually any speaker, except perhaps for a mini monitor, old Quads, etc.
Not trying to be contentious here, but supportive.
Best,

I've backed away from the cliff and it is true that low bass will always be a problem, if I buy any full range "good" speaker...I loved the Emerald Physic 2.3 MKII, which,I just heard at The Newport Beach audio show..at $6,000/pr they are VERY good....maybe I'm just wanting a change..I'm going to wait a few months until after my current condo refurbishing is done, and not put the Duos up for sale just yet.

i've heard duos and they play great quiet and loud. still see no reason for swap. i'd get headphones in addition and will get chances to listen to duo's fairly as well.

I'd hold on to them unless you're in financial need. Yes, your neighbors have lives and needs; but so do you and they can;t expect you to change your lifestyle just to accommodate their schedule. I mean, no one wants to be the ass-next-door, but you have the right to enjoy your music during normal hours (i.e., before noise ordinances kick in). As long as you're being reasonable and showing that you're trying to take your neighbors into consideration, right?

It's not your fault they have odd sleeping hours.
