Speakers by themselves don't have a "sound." They don't make music until you feed a signal into them, so source, preamp and amp are important factors - factors which you haven't mentioned yet.Matching components is so critical - what did you try with the Avantgard's? Were your acoustics room more friendly to the Beauhorns?
Speakers are often the most subjective components in a system, but I'm not convinced that you gave them a fair trial unless you provide more details.
Words like "impressive" and "put to shame" don't tell us anything about your experiences - just that you "liked" them more - which, of course, is the only reason to choose a system or components.
I've only heard the AV Duos, and not the Beauhorns, but I'm waiting to hear more details about your experiences, what music you listened to, and how the music sounded.

Hi Dave, speakers do have a sound (some call it color). Yes, they are influenced by what is fed into them but, they definately, have a "sound". I think the A.G.s are wonderfull speakers. As many times as I have heard the various models (especially the Trios), I have been amazed by their attributes but, at the same time, somewhat put off by a mehanical, glazed or etched "sound". The Beauhorns seem much more natural and lifelike in their presentaion and "sound". I have a great room, listen to all types of music and prefer tubes and vinyl. I really am not into the " my system is better than yours" .I have owned some of the best equipment made. Speakers seem to be the hardest. I was pleasently suprised and genuinely excited about the Beauhorns. I just wanted to simply share my experience and with no other agenda in mind. We are talking subjectively, personal preferences and all but, isn't that how we choose in life. Jeffrey
Dave H makes a good point. It would be helpful to know this since it can affect the sound being reproduced by the speakers. Hey, I just added one electrolytic capacitor bypassing the cathode resistor of the driver tube of my SET amps, and that made the sound plasticlike. It does not take much...
