Description

My system is a hybrid audio/video system by necessity. I tried to get the best of both worlds as uncompromisingly as possible within the limitations of the space. It is surprisingly satisfying to me even compared to systems with far more expenditures in space and capital.

I am guessing you mean to address me.
Thank You for the response. I get that Audions will work with a speaker with high sensitivity, while Duets are needed for speakers with lower sensitivity.
I am thinking that the Audions might work with my ProAc D48Rs too.

Not necessarily. Like I said in my review, the Audion seems to have enough power for my modest system so I don’t really see the need to upgrade. However, if I didn’t have the Audion and was starting fresh, I probably would have gone for the Duet. It’s nice to have the extra power for future proofing. Thanks.

You posted a review about AGD Duets, but I see the Audions in your system. So you liked the Audions better than the Duets?

@woodycaru. Funny you should ask. I posted my system only because I had a thread (Flascreen between speakers) and wanted to show the solution that I came up with. Take a look at it, there are a lot of great ideas there.

Love it. 

Any interest in discussing your room treatments one day? I’m a notice when it comes such things.

Thanks Brian
