Avantgarde Acoustics System
 

OK, its been quite a while since I last posted the Meridian System. What's left of it is the Meridian Sooloos System which continue to be the main music server. Difference is that I have changed the Twinstore to a Media Drive & Media Source 600 combo, with 2 x 4TB storage for my High-Rez music files.

I now have two Turntables, a completely restored Thorens TD125 LB, with a SME M2-12 arm holding to an Ortofon Rondo Bronze, while the Dr Feickert Firebird had two tonearms, the Ortofon RS309D arm with the Royal SPU GM MkII cartridge & a Triplanar carrying the Miyajima Shilabe, all three routed to the Aesthetix Rhea Signature Phono Stage. A Oppo BDP105 complete the Bluray and occasional CD/SACD needs.

Main system are the Avantgarde X Pre Power combo powering a pair of Mezzo G2 Horn speakers. All power supplied thru the Audience Power Conditioner.

Is it better than the Meridian? Let me put it this way, the Meridian offers the ease of use and musicality while this newer system placed the notch slightly higher. It may just be a matter of taste but certainly, I have no complain so far.

Hope you guys like the looks of the system.

Jerry... I love it, Fantastic!

Jerry, I haven't heard the Duos yet, but I did hear the Trios and Unos.
Fantastic speakers!
You have a wonderful system.
Congrats!

Jerry, it looks fabulous...congrats!

looks fabulous, I like the extra panel where you mounted your TV

Beautiful.

Your setup is so different from mine and is a perfect example of what drives my continued curiosity with this hobby. I look at the pictures and just want to 'warp' myself into that room to listen for awhile to horns -- aka speakers with a 109dB sensitivity!

Great system!
I Love the look of Dr Feickert Firebird especially and of course the rest of the system to.

Is there any acoustic treatment, the panel behind the Tv or so?

Great looking system. I would love to hear those speakers. I'm sure they sound as good as they look. Very cool set-up.

Maybe I need a pair of Avantgarde horns... :scratch2:

I still remember hearing them in Orange at RMAF one year; superb! :music:

Initially the looks frightened me, now not so much.
