Avantgarde Acoustic has just introduced the latest addition to their award-winning range of horn speakers, called the UNO Fino. Being their most compact horn speaker yet, the UNO Fino is said to be aimed firmly at the highly active Asian market where audiophiles are looking for very high quality speakers that can play well in smaller rooms.
Utilizing the same midrange and high frequency drivers as the standard UNO G2, the Fino boasts a high sensitivity of 104db into 8 ohms. It even has the same 250 watt dedicated amplifier that drives the woofers!
So what is the difference between the Fino and the G2?
Well, mainly the size as you will see when you view them in our showroom. They are both shorter and narrower than the standard UNOs and that helps a great deal when placing them in space challenged situations! Towards that goal, Avantgarde has employed a brand new (and smaller) bass driver to achieve a slim and more elegant profile and housed in an attractive wooden cabinet that hopefully will go a long way towards pleasing the other half, if you know what I mean! Most owners will not need the original twin 8” woofers if they only have a small listening room anyway.
So basically what you will get is a high sensitivity and very easy-to-drive speaker that shares almost all of the Uno G2 qualities in a smaller and more manageable package that plays well in small rooms without any of the usual bass boom problems. Good news? The other piece of good news is that this is also Avantgarde Acoustics’ most affordable horn speaker yet!
Retail prices have not been finalized yet, but it will definitely be lower than the UNO G2.

Premium Finish of Spendor Dark and Spendor White Charged at £3995
Spendor LPZ (Linear Pressure Zone) tweeter
The goal of every tweeter designer is to achieve linear acoustic output across a wide frequency range; in practice this is extremely difficult. Spendor’s approach to this age-old challenge is radical, and it works. The Spendor LPZ tweeter is built around a stainless steel front plate that forms a damped acoustic chamber directly in from of a lightweight woven polyamide diaphragm. The front plate incorporates phase correcting micro foil to equalize sound wave path lengths across the diaphragm surface; simultaneously it generated a symmetrical pressure environment on both faces of the tweeter diaphragm so the tweeter operates in a balanced linear mode.
Imagine focusing an ultra-high quality camera lens until you see a bright, clear image. That’s the effect of LPZ technology. Our sequential geometry micro-foil operates as an acoustic lens. The result is perfect focus, uninhibited sound transmission and a very wide listening window. The front plate also provides excellent mechanical protection for the delicate tweeter dome and a smart modern appearance.
Spendor 18cm drive units developed for D7
The D7 mid-bass drive unit has an advanced EP77 polymer cone for superb clarity and vanishingly low colouration. The D7 low frequency drive unit has an ultra-rigid two part bonded Kevlar composite cone assembly for accurate powerful low frequency response. Both drivers feature cast magnesium alloy chassis, high efficiency motor systems, optimized electro-dynamic damping, and excellent thermal dissipation for wide dynamic range. A new polymer surround reduces driver ‘break-in’ time significantly due to the very stable molecular composition of the material.
Fifth generation Spendor Linear flow port technology
The benefits of Spendor Linear Flow port technology have been well proven in the Spendor A-line. The deliver deep articulate bass with natural timing, even in small rooms or close to a wall. Our new fifth generation Spendor Linear flow port incorporates and aerodynamically profiled central baffle (like an aircraft wing) to create a tapered twin-venturi port. Air at the port extremities is decelerated and there is a further reduction in air velocity in the large tapered area at the cabinet base. The result is evenly balanced acoustic pressure and airflow along the whole length of the port. Rapidly decreasing air velocity at the port extremities creates an air-curtain effect to eliminate port noise and spurious mid-band radiation.
Conventional loudspeakers incorporate low frequency enclosure damping. The damping material stores energy. As the stored energy is released it is no longer in-time with the music and it makes sound unnaturally heavy and slow. The sound path, within the D7 cabinet, from the bass drivers to the listening room, requires no low frequency damping. The Spendor D7 is entirely free from energy storage effects and the advantage is clearly audible; music sounds naturally fast, agile, and coherent.
High quality terminals are recessed within the port aperture to hide plug and cable connections for neat appearance.
Spendor Dynamic cabinet damping
Timing is fundamental to the musical experience. In conventional loudspeakers rigid high-density cabinet panels are mass-damped to reduce cabinet-talk. Spurious energy is stored and released slowly. This introduces unacceptable blurring and slowing of the sound. Spendor’s solution is asymmetric aperture bracing of the cabinet to disperse internal waves. Dynamic Damping with small, low-mass constrained polymer dampers at key energy interface points instantly convert any spurious energy in the cabinet into inaudible heat. The result is a silent, rigid cabinet and naturally fast engaging sound.
High Efficiency
90 dB efficiency and an easy to drive 8-Ohm load ensure complete compatibility with a wider range of amplifiers and cables. With substantial power handling the D7’s can play very loud without sounding compressed. At low replay levels the sound is always clear and transparent.
Elegant modern design
The D7 looks as good as it sounds. Two new premium finishes perfectly complement today’s on-trend interiors. Spendor Dark, a diamond polished gloss lacquer of a dark natural wood, for an alluring modern look. Spendor White, a silky smooth pure white lacquer, for a distinctive contemporary look. Standard finishes are light oak, dark walnut, cherry, and black ash. The plinth is satin black lacquer to complement all finishes.
All Spendor loudspeakers are designed and manufactured in the UK.

- 40 Years of dedication
- 40 years of persistent research
- 40 years of advancements
- Year after year developing milestones in audio
…Not an easy feat at all. In 1973 FM ACOUSTICS was created by young Manuel Huber with the support of his father (who just celebrated his 100th birthday). When asked if he would be interested to sell his 33% shareholding in the company, he commented: “I’d rather wait a while longer, the value of the shares might increase even more…”).
FM ACOUSTICS has quietly become the synonym of natural and accurate music recording and reproduction. The solid, 100% family owned company has been successful for 40 years – without assistance from financiers, bankers, governments or the like. “It was good fortune that we never had to give in to pressures that other companies experience in their daily activities” explains Manuel Huber. “Thanks to this we were always able to follow our imagination and creativity without restrictions and zero interference”. This explains part of the accomplishments achieved. FM ACOUSTICS’ status as the uncontested leader in precision audio has been established through relentless research, thorough development and metious craftsmanship.
