Avalon modified drivers vs. Accuton originals


Hi,

I have a pair of Avalon Eidolons. Due to an unfortunate accident, both midranges got fried. Now, there is a choice of either replacing them with C79-600575ab OEM drivers from Avalon ORmoriginal C90-6-079 from Accuton. I understand Avalon modifies/matches these. The question is, does this modification justify 2.5 (!!!) times the cost of Accuton's model?

Any info/guidance would be much appreciated.

I would email Accuton. If the mod is mechanical..ie adding mass or something to change cone rigidity, then they will sound differently. I have seen so called modded parts that had no more than a resister glued to the frame. My guess is that you need to get the Avalon mids, but I would email Accuton and find out.
