The major knock on horns is how they color the sound.Think Klipsch and you get the ugly idea.While I am sure the Avantegarde products are good I stumbled on one that are fantatstic.The germamn speker company Einstein makes another line called the Ehodin.I never would have gotten them but I stumbled into a store in Sarasota Fla and asked what they had that rocked.(actaully that "jazzed").Well I never heard of Ehodin but they sounded great.But since they are hard to find and don't go to CES etc I picked up a pair of monitors which listed for $2800 on 'Gon for $875.A bit bass shy but worked great with my Mac SS pre and Mesa Baron tube amp with either a an SACD or my VPI Aries.Now I have being sent to me last years model for 25% of it's list of the $6500 speaker and go flat to 35Hz.Since they are large horns they can be fed at 93 db with 211,300,or 845 single ended tubes.I may not need my 90 wpc Baron when I get them.But I have read others who bought them like a guy with $25K models who said they have less coloration than eany other horn speakers he's heard.Look up Axxis Dist and ask them for a dealer list before you buy the UNO make effort to hear these.A great hidden product.
