If your Avant had a surround module then you'll notice a slight difference (on movies with surround sound) due to the fact that the subwoofer signal is directly sent to the BL11.
Keep in mind that in this case the dipswitches on your BL11 should be set to "EXT. BASS MANAGEMENT" (page 6 of the BL11 manual)
If you only have a music system then just plug the BL3 into the BL11 and select INT. BASS MANAGEMENT.
The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.
