Avantgarde Duos: Omega or Mezzo?

BTW, yes agree mezzos would be crammed in the smaller room.

Maril555: BTW... Your observation simply means you must get Trios with basshorns. Then you can optimally position each... ;)

Trios are very tempting, and there are incredible deals on the used one's from time to time.
I can't really comment on Mezzo's integration, but I do think, it should be easier to do, than with the Duos

The smaller room is too small for any of the Avantgardes - you need to sit a minimum of 10' from the tweeters for proper integration, and the tweeters in that case would be 12' apart if proper ratio is used - meaning that the small dimension of the room must be 14' or more.

As another owner has noted, the Duo Omegas have no practical limitation on bass extension; I find that the bass integration issue some cite is actually due to poor set-up, crossing the subs over too high, and/or setting subs' volume level too high.

Thanks Triode, makes perfect sense.

I've actually decided for Mezzos for the bigger room. Any comments on:

1- Placement away from walls
2- Amp matching - currently thinking of an Audio Note Jinro

Thanks!
