Avantgarde or Genesis speakers


I have a set of Avantgarde Grosso loudspeakers. I have enjoyed these speakers although they have been very difficult to place and get the integration of the sub and mid range working correctly. Interestingly I had the opportunity to hear the new Genesis 5.3 speakers. Has anyone with experience with either or both of these brands have any comments pro or con for either in terms of overall presentation, room placement or electronics to drive the Genesis? Which are easier to work with? Thanks in advance for any hel herep

I have enjoyed my Genesis 5.3 speakers for about 6 months and hopefully will be my last speaker purchase; although I've said that before. Pros: you should not need a sub has they go down to 18Hz. Speakers can be tweaked to your preference with tonal controls. They sound great.

Cons: even thou they have active bass, they like power-120watts min- with 9 drivers per speaker. Don't like to be close to the wall behind them. The cost!

I'm not familiar with your speakers.
