Not sure i have heard of Avant speakers. What type of drivers do you have in there?
kid, these speakers are fantastic. 10 inch driver, so real fat bass tone and super warm mids. They sound alot like a Dynaco...as for the amp yes its great. Bought it to install in the kitchen for my wife, she loves FM radio, I have an old pair of Bose 201 that I might dust off and patch in. Small and discrete for hanging in the kitchen...
