Avalon Eidolon Visions in the house

Congratulations on your fine speakers.....I had the original Avalon floor standers(the Ascent-MK-II)for many years.It held up to virtually everything I'd heard,and only sold it to move onto playing a musical instrument,which takes up all of my spare time...but...

If I were to buy a new speaker,yours would be it!!...To me,nobody produces a design that is as transparent in allowing a sound field to develop.Many designs are wonderful,but if you have lived with a top tier Avalon you know what I mean.

Best of luck

No disrespect,but no way the lower models are better than the Eidolon Vision....Pleeeeease!

Btw,a nice upgrade is to remove the protective grill(leaving the damping material in place)around the drivers.I guarantee you will find more resolution and open sound.

I did this to my Avalons and a past friend's.To keep a nice look,I sprayed the damping material black,and cut the covering around the drivers.It was definitely an improvement,and "not" subtle.

Good luck

OK,who knows?...Still,knowing the Avalon lineup pretty well,it would still be a BIG surprise,but nothing wrong with saving some cashola if it is true -:)
