| Help me find it again Try a pair of Avantgarde Horns if your budget will reach. Unos or Duos would fill your room with sound. I have my Duos with an old Meridian 206B, Verdier tube preamp and Quad II monoblocs. My room is aso about 35ft by 18 ft with high 12 ft ceiling... | |
| Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K Avantgarde Duos. But make sure they are set up properly. A badly set up pair will sound very indifferent. Get them right and they sound real! | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? Avantgarde Duos. In a big room with vinyl and tubes, they sound like real music. Even my wife is impressed! | |
| Decca cartridge experiences I still have my Deccas - a Maroon and an original Garrott Bros Decca Gold. The Garrott rebuild was just fantastic. I now use an Allaerts MC1-B which is more subtle, less slam, sweeter at the top end and tracks sooo much better.I used my Deccas on ... |
