Visiting a Friend.

Unread post by antonio66 »

Yesterday I went to visit a friend with my brother who has just borrowed a pair of Avalon Ascendant speakers. Link for pictures http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/aval ... ndant.html
He was interested to see what we thought of them since he was going to pay £2000 for said speakers (£8000 new). I was very surprised how well they worked in his smallish room, keeping the bass tight and clean. He uses an old Hafler power amp (200 wpc) with mods, they are not speakers to be powered by flea powered amps. I also took my Phono 2, unfortunately we could not get it to work (humming) and time was a limiting factor.
Well would I think of changing my Cubes? No. While the Avalons have that extra weight and body, I just love the naturalness of the Cubes (and NVA amps) and that near pinpoint imaging, I could listen all day. :grin:
