These are two excellent but very different speakers. I'd say the APs have more the classic "audiophile" type of presentation, exhibiting a voluminous soundstage while pulling of an impressive disappearing act that AP speakers are famous for.
The Khoruses strengths lay more in dynamics, quickness, extention, and overall palpability. Although they do a good job of disappearing given their size, and the soundstage is impressive, they fall short of the Avanti 3 in these categories. The Khoruses strike me more like professional monitors in their immediacy, transparency, and quickness but with many "audiophile" qualities as well. Bass goes to the Khoruses hands down.
To sum up, I find both these speakers do almost everything extremely well, and I find it easier to compare them based on their corresponding extraordinary strengths rather than any weaknesses. So it basically depends on which strengths are more important to you. Hope this helps.
