| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Jim, what is the recommended distance to move the tweeter back - 20cm? Seems like it could be easily accomplished by drilling 3 new mounting holes in the tweeter tube housing, then filling the old ones with rubber grommets.I understand this might ... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers My Duos (vintage 2002 or so) have - in addition to the Omega update, which is extraordinary and a no-brainer - the Cardas jumpers and Grand Prix Audio Apex footers. The only speakers that would ever take their place are Trios w/Basshorns. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? AMR CD-77.1 has replaced the beloved BAT player, which has now moved to my home office rig. For those who love LPs, the AMR is a must-hear in my opinion. | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Clearaudio Maestro. | |
| Direct coupled tube preamp? I second Mofimadness and Macdadtexas above. The Cary SLP-98 F1 is a stone killer at its price. | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? To the OP's question as stated: yes.To my ears, only high-sensitivity systems really "breathe" and allow the use of low-powered, more refined amplification without compromise. Low-sensitivity speaks sound as if a wet blanket has been draped over t... | |
| Why not horns? Bravo, Marty! | |
| Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable I think this updated controller is now standard on Raven One (per Absolute Sound review last year). | |
| Avantgarde Uno's Or Klipsch La Scala MKII Renmeister, you can get Avantgardes without the Basshorns for circa $20K new (Unos) or used Duos for a similar outlay. They are a long-established German company and mine have been trouble-free for the 8+ years I've owned them. | |
| Amp to match Avantgarde Uno G2 horn speakers My Duo Omegas have mated best with Lamm ML2s - synergy defined, and hailed as an excellent match by none other than Vladimir Lamm himself. Previously used Cary 300SE 8wpc mnons, and (with better results) Wright Sound 3.5 monos (2A3 with 3.5wpc). T... | |
| Avantgarde Uno's Or Klipsch La Scala MKII Unos are a full-range speaker (as well they should be) and even more sensitive than Klipsch. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Rockitman, I hear that. My 2010 GT3 "sound package" factory upgraded stereo is average at best, and used only on rare "windows up" occasions when not listening to the sport exhaust singing above 7,000 RPM! | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Avantgarde Duo Omega! | |
| Meridian 508.24 vs ? for $900 The 508.24 is a superb player at that price. Had one happily for several years until getting BAT VK-D5SE. | |
| Wilson-Benesch A.C.T. 0.5 arm azimuth Mine too is canted to one side, after I used the Fozgometer to set proper azimunth - I too am a bit anal about visuals, and this has taken some acclimation on my part. But the sonic improvement is well worth it! |
