Eidolon or Eclipse Classic

Am able to buy a Eidolon for 9k and a Eclipse Classic for 5k.
Anybody compared both speakers?
Never heard the Eidolon, but the Classic with a top tube amp and a Wadia player sounded very very nice.
I think the Eidolon will be better, but is it worth the higher price?
And how about the Ascendent for 5k?
Thanks for your comments

Then go for the Eidolons. No contest.

William,
It`s the original Eidolon ( not the Vison or Diamond), 3 years old.

I don't know which Eidolon you're talking about, but all the Eidolons are a big step ahead of the Classics. What the Classics do good the Eidolons do extremely well and the differnce in price is worth it.The Eidolons are in a different league. I've owned the Eclipse and Classic the past years. An audio-friend ownes a pair Of Eidolons and we did a lot of comparing. Allways driven with OTL's ( Graaf GM20's and GM200). They all need a lot of high quality power. Goodluck with your choice.

Certainly a three way will be better and worth 4K (provided you like the lightweight Accuton C79 Ceramic mid and you have a medium to large room).
