I have listened to the Avanti III a few times at two different dealers while I was shopping for speaker upgrade. Its overall sound was very smooth. First thing I notice was the bass. It was fast, very fast. The musicans seemed to put in lots more efforts when hitting the drums (like having a sugar rush). But the bass did not go very deep. Organ lacked grandness. It did not sound thin, just not very deep. The mid and high were smooth, very easy to my ears. It was not as transparent or as detailed sounding when compared with the Martin Logan Prodigy, the Piega P-10, or the Magnapan 3.6R. Also, the height of the sound stage was somewhat limited and it did not have enough sound pressure for a large room.
What I described were relative to other speakers in the same price range. Avanti III is a fine speaker in its own right. Give it a listen. You might like it.
