A few months back I went to an Avantgarde demo show in The Netherlands. The dealer choice for amplification was Audio Note, but he was very nice and switched (at my request) the Audio Note for Accuphase, i.e. the E-560 class A integrated (30 watts into 8 ohms). I have requested this amp because I own the Accuphase E-550 (the predecessor of E-560).
The Accuphase-Avantgarde combination was just marvelous. I could not find a single fault. I have listened only to the UNOs. The dealer bagged me to listen also to the DUO Omegas. He assured me that the DUOs will sound even better than the UNOs (driven by the same Accuphase of course). Unfortunately, I could not stay any longer, the time just flu by spinning one disc after another and I was late to an appointment.
Apparently, according to the dealer, it is well known that Accuphase-Avantgarde is a match made in heaven. The demo I have attended has certainly proven that indeed that was the case.
