You should talk to Jim Smith, who used to be the Avantgarde importer in the US and does system set-ups now. I think he now uses big Tannoys. You have a Kondo amp, right? That would be a marvelous combo. It's a speaker I would seriously consider along with the big JBL to avoid the sort of issues that come with powered subwoofers and driver matching to panels or horns. High efficiency speakers give you effortless delivery and are extremely dynamic- the 'jump factor' is unparalleled. Noise issues are another matter with high efficiency speakers, based on my experience, but once you get that sorted, these kinds of systems can deliver very lifelike sound without having to be cranked up to ear-splitting levels. I listen at modest volumes.....
