Holy cr@p that’s insane but it looks like it exudes quality. I’m afraid to ask about retail. I’m so happy for you.

Looks beautiful. Having my Duos opens up a whole new world of amplification.

Aries is the definition of big iron. Great SQ too.

But be afraid, be very afraid of the price. Not cheap, unless you do dollar per pound ...then its a bargain. LoL

I can’t afford anything else so I’m done :)
 
Woo amps are awesome! The W5Le was my dream head amp years ago........ but then I rediscovered speakers and it’s been a slippery slope thereafter.
Dang......if that Avantgarde Unofino sways me........oh Wu is me.....shame and scandal in the family...lol
 
Larry,

I think Mike has nice pair of Uno Fino stashed in a warehouse somewhere on the east coast looking for a home :)

Let’s make it happen! Thank me later.
 
Nope Joe.........6 weeks out.......elves making em hidden somewhere in the Black Forest in the township of Odenwald ...per herr Michael S. Klauss
 
What’s the difference between Uno XD and Fino edition?

BTW, big congrats on the Duo, Joe. It’s about time a set of AG rock your boat.
 
Thank you so much. It’s rocking all right!


The Uno fino are a little shorter and should work better in a smaller room. Beyond that, Mike should be able to explain in more detail.

There are some differences. The Uno has two 10 inch drivers and a sealed cabinet. The Uno Fino has ONE 10 inch driver and a port at the bottom. I would like to see 8 feet or more of a "throw" for the Uno. Meaning, sitting at least 8 feet away from the speaker (measured ear to speaker). The Uno Fino, because it is SLIGHTLY physically shorter, you can sit closer. 7 feet, maybe 6 feet or less.

I have a pair on order in this finish:

Thanks, Mike and Joe.

I see. Fino is a smaller version for closer sitting position and/or room. But it’s very interesting to find out UNO has 2 10-inch drivers in a sealed cabinet. I guess I just never really looked into it before. That’s Magico S3 territory and could be an option for me in the future. And most importantly, wife loves the look.
 
WAF is a big part of it, I am convinced you’ll both love the sound. It’s a whole new world. :)
 
The more I look at UNO XD, the more I don’t want to look at it. New DAC delivery is still a few weeks to a month away.

Joe, you ever think of trying AG XA amp or XA INT? I see AG uses these at shows and they seem to sound good in the videos.

Mike, I’m also wondering how UNO XD bass is, especially comparing to Magico S3 or S5, given UNO has two 10-inch sealed drivers. Also, do they integrate well with JL subs? My S3’s play extremely well with F113v2 I have.

I know lower power tube or SS amp is the match here. But what about driving with high power SS, for example, Diablo 300?

The AG electronics are solid state and not my favorite for the AG speakers. Paul recently had them in his system for a demo. Maybe he can chime in.

You won’t need subs with the Uno XD’s, but if you feel you want more bass, then keep them. But AG’s definitely don’t need subs.

The bass is powered with EQ and is tremendously fast and deep and powerful.

Diablo 300 is not the best match for AG. Best stick to 300b SET.

Absolutely beautiful.

I’ve thought about Avantgarde’s own amps, integrated in particular, but just think without having heard them that could be too much solid state sounding. Just a gut feeling and Having lived a little with them, they are just a match made in heaven with sweet SET. Having heard MC452 and MC275VI on them, I think they are a great match too. The 275 being absolutely wonderful but not in a SET way, but in a sweeter 3D great tube amp way than solid state. If that makes sense.
