I own a pair of M.S. Avanti 902i ( I paid $225/pr) and they are IMHO the best speaker I have owned to date. The Aviano series is the recent upgrade to the Avanti series.

My local audio dealer who has yet to steer me wrong...advised he gave a listen to the Minuet's at RMAF and came away highly, highly impressed with this speaker.

I would recommend analog sounding solid state gear or tubes with either speaker. For amplification I am using Belles and for CDP I am using the Musical Fidelity X-Ray.
