    •⁠  Active System Design – Fully active architecture integrates dedicated amplification and DSP-controlled crossover, ensuring optimal driver control, precise phase alignment, and consistent performance regardless of partnering source components.

    •⁠  Specifications – Nominal sensitivity exceeds 104 dB, with powered bass modules driven by integrated amplifiers, wide frequency response, and ultra-low compression, enabling realistic playback at low and high listening levels.

    •⁠  Dimensions – Approx. 1,570 mm (H) × 650 mm (W) × 540 mm (D) per speaker, with modular horn and bass sections designed for stable placement in medium to large listening environments.

    •⁠  Weight – Approximately 70 kg per speaker, reflecting the robust cabinet construction, high-mass horn assemblies, and integrated amplification required for vibration control and acoustic precision.

Avantgarde Acoustic is a German loudspeaker brand best known for its large-scale horn-loaded designs that emphasise efficiency, dynamics, and immediacy. The brand’s philosophy centres on recreating the energy and realism of live music through controlled directivity and minimal signal compression.

Avantgarde loudspeakers are engineered as statement products with long performance lifespans, and their core horn principles remain consistent across generations. This makes pre-owned Avantgarde systems particularly attractive to experienced listeners seeking high-efficiency designs with enduring relevance.

On SoundTribeAsia, Avantgarde loudspeakers — new and pre-owned — are offered by verified dealers, giving buyers access to accurate descriptions, trusted condition reporting, and marketplace-level confidence that individual dealer pages rarely provide.
