Bonzo75,
Has it occurred to you that
Peter might
like Duos?
Thanks Ron. Yes I do like the Duos and before that Unos. I've tried many alternative speakers within a sensible budget including electrostatics and conventional box ones, but the Avantgardes (even my relatively old ones) have offered the most satisfying sound - so far.
Bonzo's contributions have been somewhat unhelpful and grossly biased. He refers to his 2017 advice to me on the ML Owners forum. However when someone (knowing the layout of my particular room) says such things as:
"I would take the Summits over the Unos any day, and the trios over any electrostat."
and
"ATCs are sh*t. So are dynaudio"
and
"he bought the wrong speaker for his room. He admits that, and now repeats the mistake buying wrong sonics for the money. He should buy 15 inch tannoy gold in Lockwood cabinets with modded crossovers for under 5k GBP, and run them with Luxman integrated instead"
and on this forum
"Anyway, I am sorry to disappoint you, while you have gone horns, you have chosen the wrong one."
... I tend to ignore such "advice", although I'm sure it was well intended from someone who believes he knows far more than others including professional reviewers. I appreciate knowledgeable advice and suggestions of equipment that MAY be suitable - in MY room, to MY ears and for MY preferred type of music, but to be TOLD what I should have is perhaps not so helpful. Peter
