Description

A "lifestyle hifi" system in a acoustically challenging room..

Entry-level Avantgarde horns. Full-range speakers with highly directional horns and adjustable active bass which allow them to be positioned near walls & corner.

Source: Linn Akurate DS player + a RipNAS combination. Amplification by FirstWatt F3.

Unfortenately I cannot invest into room acoutics because the living room serves as the listening space. Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core room correction helps a lot with the bass management.

Some strengs: The system plays music with emotion and authority. Sounds very live, spacious & dynamic. Very nice to operate as well.

History:

Yamamoto A08S with Emission Labs 45 tubes / Almarro A205A mk2. Resolution Audio Opus 21+XS / McIntosh MCD500. Lyngdorf RP-1 room processor.

Beautiful room!
I did not call the UNO's "entry-level"- term like "most compact" sounds better :)

Nice system, I imagine it sounds great. I have the First Watt M2, that I alternate with an SET 300B. The M2 is shockingly good, I would expect no less from F3.

Congratulations, and enjoy,
Regards,

Beautiful system. Does the Linn drive the First Watt directly?
