Avantgarde Acoustic 25th Anniversary Factory Tour, Part 1
Article by WL Low
As Avantgarde Acoustic celebrates it’s 25th Anniversary in business, I was invited on board to share the moment, along with the company’s major Asian dealers & distributors, all chaperoned by Jerome Andre, who is International Sales Manager for the company.
We all gathered up post Munich show and started our journey towards Frankfurt, then a 30 minute rail transit to Benshiem, a peaceful & scenic suburb at the outskirts of the city. In this introduction to Avantgarde, we are first shown the proud new corporate office. As the pictures would show, there is more to this building than just another office!

The foyer & reception area
All the world’s hifi, audio & design printed publications that mentions Avantgarde products are also on display at the reception. Here are just but a few
As move around the building’s public space, it starts to resemble more of an art gallery then a corporate office.
You see, the boss at Avantgarde Acoustic is an avid collector of stone carvings of Scandinavian origins

Once again CJ Gan aka hifi paradis of Uniq Fidelity has brought in a brand of audio components new to Malaysian audiophiles. Some weeks before he sealed the deal to be the sole Malaysian dealer for Holo Audio's range of DACs and streamer he became the Malaysian distributor for Alexandria Audio from Indonesia.
Surprise, surprise...the highly-praised Holo Audio R2R DACs are now in town, courtesy of CJ Gan aka hifi paradis who brought in the SB Acoustics speakers in December 2021.
