| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Check out this system. User name Herman. He's using a digital x-over tri-amping his duos that look far from factory. It sounds like he's getting the results that he likes.Chadeffect, can you borrow the gear without putting out the money. If so, de... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Duomike, Do you know of a way to pre break-in caps. Teflon caps take on long time. | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Hornguys,I was thinking about a separate stand for the tweeter. The vertical array is an idea. I thought that it wouldn't work though, too close and the reflection off the backs of the other horns. I thought moving the tweeter further away, to the... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Hornsguys,How much further back would you recommend the Trios tweeter. I had thought about maybe building a welded stand to support each. Also in a 12.5' wide room should I move the mid/bass horns in and have the tweeter on the outside or keep the... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers I recommend reading "Get Better Sound" by Jim Smith. I just finishing reading this book and very much enjoyed it. Jim Smith was the original distributor for Avantgarde USA. He has probably set up more Avantgarde speakers than anyone. His would be ... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Duomike,I'll try the solder. I never did think the way the wire was fastened was adequate. Did you find moving the tweeter back you were able to sit closer. What is your seating distance. How did you support the tweeter. | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers My Trios Mods,I used similar to Duomike, Car stereo damping inside the cans. Costed about $250 to do all six completely.The tube frames. Taken completely apart first. I used liquid urethane rubber. It was an 8 on the 10 scale for density. To do th... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Triode, What did you find the improvements were using the Apex footers. | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Thanks Jim, I'll try that. My pre went back to the factory for some up dates. My system will be down for a while. I'll give that a try as soon as it gets back.Steve. | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Jim, are you agreeing with my sub placement as an acceptable trade off. How do you set your subs and horns in your room. Could you please include dimensions. As others have stated earlier I really appreciate hearing your recomendation and opinions... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I used to place my subs beside my Trios with about four feet of space behind them . I now place them about a foot from the front wall, almost right behind the Trios. I find this to work better for me. It seems to integrate better, has more extenti... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I should be carefull how I say things here. The comment I was disageeing with the most is when people say that avantgardes sound edgy and harsh. This is totally untrue in my system. My system is so smooth and natural that I can listen at high leve... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I only have experience with Trios. I used a Cary 805c. It was very effortless sounding on the Trios but on 92 db or lower speakers it was a little slow. I now use a Viva Aurioa monos (845 also). In comparison the Viva is a little leaner sounding, ... | |
| Is 5 Watts enough for Horns ? I have Trio 2.2 (8 ohms). I have used Viva Aurora (845 set)monos for three years. Mine has the transformer input. This is a must with horns, the tube input version is too noisy. Mine is dead quiet. Recently I tried a friends Wavac 300b. Enough pow... | |
| best phono preamp for Art Audio Symphony II? If that is your budget. Go passive preamp or use the built in Volume control. I would go for the optional higher grade volume that Art offers. you must spend more on a pre-amp than that to be as good as passive. I used to have a placette passive (... |
