Product Information

  Meta Primo
  Avantgarde > Horn Speaker (Floorstander)


Based on the success of the hornspeakers SOLO, UNO, DUO and TRIO OMEGA, Avantgarde Acoustic became the market leader for spherical high end horn speakers. The character of these "classic" SYSTEM line speakers is their sophisticated horn technology and the unique open frame design, which became the distinctive trademark of the German horn speaker manufacturer.

With the cabinet based META line, Avantgarde Acoustic breaks new ground, presenting an integral speaker concept. Featuring a metamorphosis of horn technology and a modern yet classic cabinet style, the sperical horns and the subwoofer of the META PRIMO share one elegant cabinet.

The META PRIMO is the first product of this new horn speaker line. It is positioned beside the TRIO OMEGA + BASSHORN and especially addresses to music lovers who demand TRIO-like performance but simply cannot accomodate such a big horn speaker statement.

The META PRIMO is a 2-way sperical horn speaker, intergrated into 4 active hornbass cabinets (2 per speaker). This concept, featuring ADRIC power amps (pat. pend.) and high efficiency (107 dB/W/m), makes the META PRIMO exceptionally easy to drive. In all sonic aspects, including dynamics and resolution, Avantgarde Acoustic promises a performance close to TRIO OMEGA with BASSHORN.
