Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore

I agree with the others - keep your speakers. The Avalons are fine speakers too. What did you like better about them? It might be that the quality you liked was due to the associated gear as much as the Avalons. What kind of cabling was used with the Avalons?

I'm not too big of a fan of Transparent cable. I've not tried their cable in my system, but what I have found in common with underperforming systems at two local dealers was Transparent cable. I'd swap out the cabling before swapping out the gear as others suggest. Try some Nordost or MIT - and borrow enough so you don't have to mix and match if possible.

I see no mention of power cords in your system listing. What are you using? The right power cords can cause your speakers perform at a much higher level.

Sorry that I hadn't read your post closely enough.  I misread your post and thought you weren't pleased with your Parsifals.  I figured that with the right cabling the idea of dumping the Parsifal would never enter one's mind.

The Eidolons and the Parsifals are the two speakers on my wish list.  I ended up buying my Spectral gear after hearing them drive Eidolons spectacularly.  The resolution of detail, transparency, and realism exceeded anything I'd ever heard.  What I heard and liked about the Parsifals was very different: the most amazingly gorgeous midrange.

In terms of power cords, glad to hear that the PS Audios are working for you.  I had their previous generation cords, which I thought were quite good, but they got trounced by the cheapest Nordost cord, the Magus.  I ended up dumping all my PS Audio cords and replacing them with Nordost Vishnu.  This was a major upgrade.  But even bigger than that was just swapping one Nordost Brahma for the Vishnu used at my power outlet.  I've had my speakers for 15 or so years, and they are now doing things they've never done.
