Audio Physics Avanti 3 Vs. Joseph RM33si


I would love to hear from anyone who has heard or own either the Audio Physic Avanti 3 or the Joseph Audio RM33 Limited Edition speakers. I have been agonizing over which floorstander to get for many weeks, and I am still unsure but have narrowed down to probably these two. I need wooden speakers that are similar looking( WAF ) to these speakers with similar specifications as well. Associated equipment=Bryston 4B-SST amp and BP-26 pre-amp, Ayre CX 7E cd player. Room is about 210 square feet with good acoustic properties. Musical tastes are instrumental Classical( orchestral, chamber, solo), and Jazz at lower volume levels. Any input will be as ever, greatly appreciated.

I have use the Avanti III's for a number of years. They are great speakers. But there are ways to make them even better.

Adding an AudioPhysic subwoofer like the Minos changes the presentation considerably, not just in lower octave extension, but in spaciousness and ambience retrieval generally.

I also use a Townshend super tweeter, which has the effect of creating a more realistic soundstage and improving palpability, especially to voices.

Finally, each of the speaker footings has a Finite Elemente Cerabase screwed into it, which cleans up effects of cabinet and air borne vibration and leaves a very, very clean window on the musical performance.
