Avantgarde Acoustics UNO FINO Edition Loudspeaker

Reduction does not always mean simply omitting something. Reduction also creates awareness for essential things. Or simply put: reduction is concentration. In this sense, the UNO Fino Edition is designed as a concentrate, using the essence of the UNO line of speakers to accomplish a new entry point for the 'classic' horn speakers series of Avantgarde Acoustic. In essence: a gently minimized size, a deliberately simplified engineering, but still a maximized Avantgarde sound experience.
