Well I am intimately familiar with the Eclipse,but not the Avatar...sorry!
In any case the Eclipse is a fabulous speaker,with wide dynamic range and contrasts.It has superb resolution and can play very loud.Soundstage is superb.It does best with some power behind it.The speaker likes room to breath,and imo can compete with some of today's priciest/best/high cache designs.....Like I said,I know that speaker well.A great one!!
I previously owned the Ascent Mk II,which is still a world class speaker(God that was a great design-:).It had a superb dedicated mid range unit,that to this day was amazing.It also had a seperate crossover unit and it outperformed the Eclipse "only" in subtle upper mid detail and some bass depth.I found the Ascent to outperform the Eidolon,to be honest,but that is only one man's opinion.
Anyway,as for the Eclipse,if it still comes with the superb manual about placement and drive capabilities,I'd read it cover to cover.Great stuff within.
The Eclipse is,imo,a true audiophile speaker.No phoney baloney here today and gone tomorrow design...
Good luck
