The DC biasing of filtering caps was something that I was advocating for years but recently I was pointed out that German Avantgarde took it a bit further. I did not use this method but it goes sound interesting. Read the Avantgarde’s document, the p...

Running in drivers...and the sound is getting better and better...just lovely.This weekend, I'll relocate my mid bass horns to fire directly out to the room. The angled baffles work very well for integration of sound with the mid horns...but I'll get...

Paul, I did not listen to Avangarde flagship horn systems , I have no idea about that....

The initial post of this thread was posted in Melquiades forum, then I moved it to Playback Listening forum and I think now I need to move it to Horn Forum. Tax, I would like to rename the thread into something more characterizable, not the “OPT...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Do I understand correctly: AG used Fane 8Ms in the Trios upper bass horn?[/quote] Oh, no! AG in Trio’s upperbass horn used similar 8” driver with 103 sensitivity. That driver was bad and it made me to look for a replacemen...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi, I didn't particularly set out to 'demean' Avantgarde, they have a good business model, I don't believe it is a secret that they modify conventional drivers, I simply mean that the constituent parts of a Cessaro horn ...

I got curious and dug until I found out that Alma Audio (a dealer located in La Jolla, near San Diego) was hosting the AudioPax/Avantgarde room at THE Show, Newport, 2015. This dealer's "website" is lousy, and I'm not interested enough to call them,...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

Hi Fellow Forumers,This is my first newbie post :-) Do any of you have any experience with running a Lundahl 1627 in a Full Range Melquiades with Avantgarde Duo Omega speakers?The other options are to get some custom Amorphous OPT's <50R 350mA 8:1...

It looks like it was a new trade show a few weeks back in Munich.
I missed the excitement in Munich but the more I read about the trade shows the
more I am glad that I do not attend them from 2005. From what I hear about the Munich
20017 was the e...

just thought i would wet the appetite for the show; the new N.A. distributor for Avantgarde will be determined to make their first show a good one,i believe the principals from germany might also be on hand.i know they have been steadily(trying) impr...

Doesn't Avantgarde make/offer giant speakers now? I thought they used to use TAD? I would not even mention this, except I have heard good/promising sound from Avantgarde on several occasions. I do not have recent experience with large/lower frequency...

Avantgarde Trios were $38K retail, overprized but still conventional in the world where the M...

Hato, I do not what to caps on your little celebration, and to play with old Lamm 2.0 is a pure celebration, but I would like to pass two observations. The ML2.0 with Avantgarde Duo will work fine BUT will be a weak element. I do not want to critici...

On another note: Angeloitacare, why do you do it? This is a third time you create a alien account at this site and impersonate your as a different poster. It is not that I or anybody else particularly cares but in context of everything else I find it...

[quote user="Merlin"] If they are modifying conventional drive units by hand, the labour costs alone can be prohibitively expensive. The fact that they are using heavy Alnico magnets and coating the diaphrams suggests that these units do not co...

Angelo,
I care less about the “commercially available” objectives, honestly it is too boring.
However, whatever you do not be distracted that what you are making will be reminding Avantgardes. The Avantgarde Trio Classic (in vertical configuration)...
