So about a couple of months back I let go of the Proac and picked up an Audiovector SR1 Arette & have been just spellbound by these little beauties. Had an audition with no intention of upgrading & found myself scurrying around to get the upgrade done.
Some pictures of these beauties .

Lovely finish
I think the Arette is their flagship model, and has options for external grounding too, if Iam not mistaken. Not to mention the cryoed crossover
Enjoy

Yup, Arette is their flagship.offfering along each lineup. This is the SR1 which does not come.with freedom grounding else quiet similar to the later release of R1.
It's a phone camera, Samsung Galaxy s23 seriescamera and lens?
sorry for the bad manners
I have heard some Audiovector BS - a friend owns - not sure if this is it, but they are indeed brilliant. If & when I upgrade my HT & do not go the complete active route, Audiovectors BS are very high on my list.
Good one - enjoy.

Congrats! This is a fantastic speaker - got to hear it at Sukant's place. Never in your face but very detailed/revealing and at the same time has a very easy going nature. Produces quite a lot of bass for its diminutive size and looks like it is very easy to drive too.
Thanks Chander, will be either QR or the SR/R series. I have the QR center for HT duties.
Thanks Soumya

After lot of thought and efforts, decided moving to a pure dedicated stereo chain & a seperate simplistic HT + stereo chain.

Do you think the Audiovector SR1 Avantgarde Arette is overkill for the second system considering the associated gear ? They can really sing with appropriate gear.
I am sure the cary + audionote system is special. I have never heard that combination though.
It was running with the primary chain setup for a long time & later moved it to the 2nd system. Don't think it's an overkill from the associated gear POV, the Simaudio I5 Moon LE is a very capable amp( one of their most renowned integrated ) and the Eclipse CDP was their totl offering. Audiovector certainly can scale further with more refined electronics but with the current stack also don't sound out of the place.

Thanks. Yes, the i5 is a really nice amp. I have heard them on Moon separates vs their top current integrated at the dealer. They can really scale up.
While in your primary system, how was it different from the audionote ? Key differences ? I have heard both in different setups. Never in the same room / setup.
I would need some time to be sure of the exact key differences as the speaker is still burning in & AV would need to be played with similar tracks. Presently the scale of presentation is much bigger , the overall tone of the presentation is getting better as it's burning in & is much easier to drive too.
One of the key reasons I went for AN is I got a home trial of AN-K LX and they totally mesmerised me ..for their size the bass slam was phenomenal , quantity, the tonality & just the overall musical nature of the presentation.

Yes. I am a fan of audionote myself. The tone and nature of presentation is what draws me to them. I presume what you have are the ANJs. They will definitely sound larger in terms of scale. Do post with more info when you finish the burn in. Thanks so much.
Wow , looks superb. Is this R1 or SR1
