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?

Question for the Avalon owners. Will 32W (high current)
SET amps power the Radian HC which is listed as a 88 db,
4 ohm speaker? If not, which is better: high powered
tubes (100-150W) or similar solid state units? Thanks to
those that took time to reply.
