Hi,It is 60 in tall,14 1/2 in wide,17 in deep with a bigger black diamond tweeter than the Diamond and a bigger ceramic midrange.Also it has 2 12in woofers.It will retail for 58k.
I was very impressed with them. They were in a large room (20x40?) about mid-room with a lot of room taming and about $250k in supporting electronics (primarily Boulder). Ultimate Audio did the setup and used both CD and LP. I was VERY impressed with the sound. Although Avalon speakers have never wowed me like some others, the Isis were totally involving.
i heard it at RMAF this past weekend. if you like the Avalon/Boulder sound, you will love this speaker. it did improve from Friday to Sunday.....it was a little more natural and less 'clinical' on Sunday.
the room was huge and the speakers were brand new. in a more intimate room and broken-in it could be very involving.
i thought it needed 'big tubes' to bring out some tonal color....it sounded somewhat washed out.....but that is a characteristic of the Avalon/Boulder sound (from my perspective).
my friend captured our perspective perfectly.....he said; "it's like making love to a beautiful woman while she is reading the paper".
i have heard both Avalon speakers and Boulder amps sound very good......but together they can be 'hifi'.
