Re: Another Happy Avantgarde Trio XD owner
Rob, do you remember what I do for a living? Divorce lawyers don’t get divorced! Cheaper to keeper!!
Believe me; if I were to go my own way the first thing I’d do is move my Quad ESLs from the mancave to the living room. The rules of my house are such that any speakers above grade must fit in the wall!

Re: Another Happy Avantgarde Trio XD owner
Congrats! That color is something special. I switched from Quads to my Duos 15+ years ago. They are more inconspicuous dark grey. My wife isn't too observant and it took about six months before she asked "Are those new speakers?" Don't think I could have done that with Duos or especially Trios with that color. :-)
Happy listening.
