Avantgarde & Air TightHi Ianchang,a fellow Avantegard user here. I am very interested in your choice of amps. I am starting to look into amps to drive my AG Trios. At the moment I am using some rather powerf... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveSystem edited: Finally added some power regeneration. Now that the PS audio is powerful enough and quiet enough, I felt it was time. I had the old 300w version many years ago and it was ok but it c... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Esotheric,Haha. I guess the symposium platform helps the bathroom scales to be more in tolerance. Always good to know just how heavy your butt is! Your house is like an audiophiles Aladi... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Mapman and Muralman1,I too was of the same opinion. If I had not tried this combination, I would be saying the BCs are too much for this speaker. I would use phrases like too high a damp... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveWell I have finally got the Trios set up to my liking. What a speaker system it is. It has a spirit and soul. I have struggled a little to balance it. The subs settings are a giant key into... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Geir,I use a pro firewire cable at the moment which is silver with ferrite rings at each end as filters and is used with protools recording systems. It made a worth while difference. The sou... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Reflecting personal tastesHi,a beautiful finish on your Apogees. I think I saw your film on the restoration a couple of years ago.Well worth the effort. posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveOff axis is not quite so percussive and you loose some layering/depth. The deep bass is slightly less full but I think thats more about the room. posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Mauralman1,yes it is quite a challenge to get that last bit of performance out of a good speaker. I spoke to Avantgarde and they were very helpful. So I know a little more about ... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi guys,after lots of fiddling it would seem that the subwoofer settings are very important and sensitive. Even more so than anything I have had before. It has been a long time since I ... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Mapman,I am looking into it, as I am not completely sure what could be causing it. I dont feel its the room size. While my room is not enormous, its just within the Trios smaller limits.... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveAs things settle down I think it is wise to say where I feel the Avantgarde Trio has trouble when compared with the grazzed and modified Apogees.For sure the Trio is not as extended in the ... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Muralman1,I have made the space for them, lets put it that way! They dont look too bad do they? Sound wise ultimately it will be a giant leap when I have got them how I would lik... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveOk I promised to report back my initial findings moving from the latest grazed and fully pimped out Apogee Divas and Duetta sigs to Avantgarde Trios, so here we go...Digital front end is a ... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Mapman,As promised some pics. I will add more as I get things sorted out.I am not using the Bel cantos at the moment. I am using a 40 watt Orpheus amp on the Trios. Very nice. posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveHi Mapman and Muralman1,A very different beast to drive indeed. The bel canto must wonder what has happened?A bit like training at high altitude then coming back down.I have to say ... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveSo I plugged in the Avantgarde Trios in white...19 Ohms and 110db/watt. The first thing to notice is the strange sculpted look. Like a pair of aliens landed in the listening room. Someone c... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveHi Muralman1,i will give you the low down on the divas shortly. I have been away recording so I have not had a chance to even burn them in yet. I am hoping to lock myself away over the holidays... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
