The German company Avantgarde offers us pure and natural sound with simplicity combined with design throughout their entire range, starting with the UNO, the DUO Omega, the TRIO Classico all the way to the BASSHORN. It’s always about the fusion of purity and performance with their “horn technology”.

This fusion is result of their expert engineering combined with the Avantgarde experience, where their objective is to make people swept away by the music. At Top Audio Video Milano 2012 we had a very pleasant talk with Armin Krauss, the person in charge of sales and customer services on Avantgarde’s team, who answered all our questions and… guess what? Yes, we can have our Avantgarde speakers in any color we want and with different materials! They even offer the shiny Citrine Orange color which is the same as the famous orange used on Lamborghini sports cars.

What I find formidable is how their strategy about perfection is based on what the wise philosopher, Aristotle, said: “There are three shades of meaning to perfection. Perfection is when a thing is complete, when a thing is so good that nothing of the kind could be better, when a thing is perfect in itself, in its substance.”

Also at Milano’s Top Audio Video Show we were very delighted to see and listen to the powerful UNO with a 20 inch spherical midrange horn and a 5 inch horn both in a Light Topaz Blue. They use a meticulously designed CDC-technology, the midrange has no passive filter components in the signal path, like they say, less components, less interaction, less friction…

What’s in the works for the future at Avantgarde? Will they develop a range to cater to the “iGeneration”?

I can definitely describe them as awesome sound in pure beauty using their uniquely sophisticated and elegant design.
