A couple of years ago, I tested an AVI power, and, it was nowhere as good as you seem to find yours, Jerry.
I wonder whether mine was faulty, after all...
Yup - that pretty much sums up my feelings. There you go, Tarzan, review done! :eyebrows:Quote:

Well, OK .... maybe that's a slight exageration! But it's pretty close to an accurate description. :mental::doh:
Interesting. I can't believe that was a Lab Series amp like I have - perhaps one of the cheaper plastic fronted jobs? I've not heard those so I have no idea what they sound like.Quote:

And didn't you also listen to them at the one and only hi-fi show AVI demonstrated them at a couple of years ago? I seem to remember the word "anodyne" being used as part of your vocabulary ;)
Basically, since AVI gave up making REAL hi-fi equipment (i.e. separates and proper sized speakers), they've abandoned any notion of producing equipment which qualifies being labelled as high fidelity!

P.S Sorry, Alfie!
Wow - my very own AOS emoticon. :stalks:Quote:

It's all part of the service, sire! :)

We need to kill the AVI annihilation-fest right now and leave the ADM speakers alone, as they play no part in AOS in my opinion.
My final word on the make is that the S2000 series had a perspex front panel set into CAST mouldings, the paint finish of which being easily scratched :(
