It may be difficult but I would try and hear a pair of the Audio Physic Avanti III's. This is a really fine speaker. I would also include the Kharma's (2.1, 0r used 1.0) Both are fairly amp friendly but do require top quality upstream equipment.
Coincident Total Eclipse/Avalon Radian
Live in Pittsburgh,PA, the black hole of audio. Local
dealers carry PSB, B&W, NHT and Vienna Acoustics. Without
spending $10k or more, anyone have extensive experience/ own
one of these speakers and heard the other brand for their
opinion on quality of sound? Total Eclipse has side firing
woofers-does this make room placement difficult or require
large room? Radian HC's being replaced by Eidolon so there are deals to be had. However, before traveling to another
area to listen to either/both, any one have comment?
