Eidolon, Amati Homage, or Watt?

Since the Dunlavys, Amatis, Watts, and Eidolons have different presentations, ranging from laid back musical (Amati, then Eidolon) to potentially detailed and agressive (Watts, depending on system), I would choose the speaker characteristics I wanted first. I believe the Eidolon has better bass than the old SC4's, but the bass is less well integrated (and powerful) than the best. It's imaging is superb, as is the refinement, speed, and tonal characteristic. The Watts are, IMO, the most dynamic of the four.
Eidolons are reasonably good with lower powered amps but improve markedly with higher power - you will likely find yourself looking for trade-ins eventually on the CJ's to higher powered tube amps or solid state monos. Check the Eidolon reviews on AudioReview.com and in old A'gon threads, there were some earlier good comments on amp and power matching from a wide range of users & tastes.

Good post Mike.
On the subject of bringing speakers home for audition, there are very few dealers in my area that will allow this with large speakers anymore. And for those that do, you need to appear very serious, i.e. you will buy other speakers from them if not the first pair. Times have changed. If you are careful to audition with equipment you know (or bring your own), and music you know, you can usually get a good sense of what the speaker will do in your space. This is one reason to travel to a dealership that carries your electronics (and be prepared to buy from them if you take a significant amount of their time.) Also, you can do a lot with your own space if you treat it well acoustically - and thus minimize the differences from the showroom. And at this price range, you can make a point of hearing the speakers you are serious about in several dealerships - different rooms, different equipment.
