JBL Everest DD67000 vs. Avantgarde Duo Mezzo


Hi:

I'd like opinions of members who have compared or listened to JBL Everest DD67000 and Avantgarde Duo Mezzo (not the new XD version).

I auditioned Avantgarde Uno Nano in 2011 and really liked it. I don't have any exposure to Avantgarde Duo Mezzo yet. Last week I compared JBL Everest DD67000 against Revel Salon 2 and I liked JBLs much more.

Thus, I am going to choose between JBL Everest DD67000 and Avantgarde Duo Mezzo. 

Please help me by expressing frankly!

Having is having owned Duo Omegas since the last 10+ years. And having heard the Duo Mezzo's often, the Everests 67000 are ahead of them. Just heard the JBL's on the weekend gone. 
The drivers have less distortions in the JBL, than the Mezzo's. 
Chise your amplification carefully with the Mezzo, as they are very unforgiving. But you get that right and you can be in sheer heaven. 
Similarly the JBL's will need more power and depending on your preference an OTL or solid state low distortion amp will get you there. 

Good luck.
