REDUCED FOR FAST SALE!!!

 

For sale is a pair of Avantgarde Duo Primo speakers, which are the system
just under the much larger Trios.  They are in perfect shape, and are two years
old.  They are the current G2 version.  They have been owned by a meticulous
audiophile, and have been in a purpose built room.  The system has the same four
12" bass speakers per side as in an Avantgarde Trio system with two pairs of
basshorns, but Avantgarde has placed the woofers in the same cabinet structure
that contains the midrange and tweeter horns.  This approach to the bass
spectrum has the advantage of ease of placement, with another benefit being that
all sound sources are already aligned.  Each tower is comprised of two pieces,
which are joined with heavy bolts.  This makes transporting these 400 pound
speakers relatively easy.  Each of the four cabinets has very powerful bass
amps, with tremendous flexibility to tune the bass response to the listening
room.  There are controls for subsonic cutoff, crossover frequency, crossover
slope/shape, and volume.  Since the bass is also partially horn loaded, it is
very tight and defined, but it also extends flat to 20hz, due to an ingenious
circuit developed by Avantgarde, called ADRIC.  You can read about the system in
greater detail on the Avantgarde website.  The link to the Duo Primo page is

This pair is finished in a gorgeous ruby red for the horns, and black for
the basshorn mouths and cabinets.  The condition is a solid 9 of 10, and the red
horns do not have a mark on them.  Included with the system are the jumpers
provided by Avantgarde, as well as a set of Nordost jumpers which were used
because the owner bi-wired the speakers.  Also included are both the original
feet as well a set of exotic stainless steel spikes made by Track Audio.


Finally, the speakers are 107 db efficient, and can be run with very low
powered amplifiers.  They also do well with amps of higher power, but the option
is yours.  They will play as loud as you want with no effort, but sound magical
at low volumes, due to the way the horns interact with the air.  However, you
would be hard pressed to hear a single trace of horn coloration, as Avantgarde
has skillfully addressed the issue of the mathematics of horn shape, and
produces their horns to incredibly tight tolerances.


The speakers are available for audition in Southern California, and are
available for pickup, or can be shipped, crated at sellers expense.


These speakers rarely if ever appear for sale.
