I've heard Avalon speakers many times at a high end shop in Boston. I think they are misunderstood by audiophiles with good intentions trying to fit them into the wrong room. These speakers need room to breath. I've heard them best 10 feet from the rear wall and 6 feet from the the sides.
Listen to them in a good room before ripping them apart with uninformed opinions.
