I went around and around with speakers that I thought covered all the sonic bases. Unfortunately, my inexperience was my enemy.
Long ago someone with far more experience suggested that I try Avalon Eidolons. I listened to them at shows and long sessions at brick and mortar stores. Regardless, they seemed sleepy sounding leaving me unimpressed.
After yet another failure on my part a pair of used Eidolons became available at a price that would make resale easy. In just a few moments of listening to them at home their superiority became glaringly obvious to me and everyone in my family. They are not sleepy at all.
It turns out that all the sonic cues I was listening for in those other speakers were weaknesses. What did I know?
After living with the Avalons the only other speaker that I've heard that sounds correct to me is the Vandersteen 5s and 7s. But then again my experience is very limited and I have never heard the Indra's.
