    Re: Thoughts? Duo XD

    You've been eyeing them for years- might have to scratch that itch at some point.

    They are quite large, so confirm your room size. I have no desire to go past Uno XDs in a non-dedicated room - would def go Duo Mezzo XDs in a dedicated one as I'd prefer the horn integration better. btw, have you heard a pair recently?

    I assume you've thought about Kenrick vintage JBLs as well...

    The small AG really sounded good at RMAF. Much better than the JBL L100....

    I have thought about Kenrick's speakers. Seems more daunting to me.

    I think the Duo will fit, no problem.

    I heard a pair of Unos (I think) a while ago (not recently) and really enjoyed them. I read that the bigger horn of the Duo spreads the sound out more and integrates better to the room.

    I've been eyeing a few SET amps to mate with them

    Amps aren't hard on AGs thankfully. Just has to be tubed with body. I'd love to hear Airtight 211s on them, but I know a guy with Mezzos that has tried SET and prefers an ARC 75SE. Go figure?

    Same guy sold an MBL/Vac Statement system for them and hasn't looked back. Rarely posts on forums anymore lol

    Wow, that's awesome.

    I bet the new Ref the 160M in triode mode could be great.

    Re: Thoughts? Duo XD

    Whatever the ARC is that Mike has on his UNOs at his shop is tremendous.

    i can’t say for sure that I prefer it to the sweetness of the 300b midrange on these. But my. Amazing match. Really made an impression on me.

    i love love love my Uno XD. duos would be even better. I don’t know if they are appropriate for my space.

    love AG. Love.

    to me, the comments about bass integration, harshness, etc are complete hogwash. I am totally captivated by my sound now in a way I never was before.

    Man Joe, I really hope you take the plunge - super excited for you to have the opportunity.

    The one thing I notice about AG owners is they tend to get off the merry-go-round.

    What a mistake. AG’s are shouty, harsh, bass integration is a hot mess... and they are impossible to drive.

    But to each his own.

    LMAO. I know you’re kidding or you’ve been reading too much on other forums from guys who have never heard them (or much else for that matter). LOL.

    Hey Justin, how are those Takatsuki tubes breaking in in your Triode amps? Still loving them?
