It is not a simple yes or no answer unfortunately. There are several categories here to address separately: Category 1: Cost and space no objection, I would go for a pair of Infinity IRSs and call it a day - definitely no subwoofers required. Category 2: I could be someone who considers for...

The long answer is ... We learn in school physics/biology that human hearing is limited to 20 - 20kHz. Go to an audiologist, you probably discover that upper limit has fallen to 10kHz with age. But we need to take a step back and think about what this test actually checked (and even more...

All we have to do is go back to basics, the Shannon-Nyquist theorem lays the mathematical context that establishes (within certain boundaries) how a discrete time signal (as in sampled digital bits) can be converted to a continuous signal (analog) without loss of information as long as it has...

An update after nearly 1 year of owning AVI DM10 speakers which I got a couple of days after creating this thread on WHF. Leading upto this, my previous speakers have been Linn Majik 140s Passive & Active, B&W 802N, Magnepan 1.7, PMC Twenty 24 & PMC PB1i Sigs out of which PB1is were my...

steve_1979 and fr0g, thanks for the information and subwoofer recommendations. I also agree with your view that AVI should have had the their sub in production or order books open even if there is a delay in delivering. I would hate to take delivery of the DM10 then wait and hope they do the...

Hi fr0g and lindsayt, Thank you very much for your feedback. I have read through every point and I understand where you are coming from. In a way it is my fault that I haven't described exactly what I want. With AVI probably the only option is to try at home and sell if it is not as expected...

One problem I see is the AVI sub is not currently available to buy. So if I get DM10s in June and find that I need a sub, there will most likely be a waiting list another 3 or 6 months for the sub.

Thanks folks, I am beginning to get a better picture the pros and cons of AVI speakers. At the asking price it should not be too much of a risk as I assume it will be easy to sell-on if it doesn't work. Selecting a good sub is critical I think, I need to feel the bottom-end impact at low...

I have a slimdevices/logitech transporter as source, also a NAD M51 which I might sell-on depending on how good inbuilt DAC sounds. Thanks for the info regarding connection topologies.

Thanks for letting me know. Actually, posting on the turntable thread was not intentional, I may have touched the wrong link while creating the topic with my tablet. I wonder whether there is a way to move it to main thread?

Thanks for the feedback. I will checkout the subs you mention - main requirement is for very accurate and detailed lows basically I currently have a pair of PMC PB1is but want to downgrade size wise so I am not really looking for thundering bass but rather well defined, articulate lows.

Thanks for your feedback and you are right, Ashley replied a few minutes after I emailed direct so that is great.

I've been considering going active with AVI DM 10s and would be very grateful if those who have already gone with AVI could comment. I am a registered member of the AVI forums but don't (yet) have permission to post questions. 1. It seems the new DM10s only accept unbalanced inputs and my...
