Eidolon vs Opus


I am thinking of upgrading my speakers from the Avalon Opus to the Eidolon. Assuming my system, and listening room, is commensurate with the Eidolon, what should I expect from the upgrade?

Thanks

You might want to go to www.avalonacoustics.com and post a question on their forumn. I'm sure that question has been asked before. I have heard both and the Eidolon takes your wonderful speaker to a new level. I'm thinking you like Avalon speakers since you are considering staying in the family. To me they make some of the best speakers around. Try and give them a listen before making the jump but I bet you will be very happy if you move up.
After reading this post I think everyone can see that what works for one person doesn't work for another. Go listen for yourself and go with what you like best. If someone buys Kharma and another buys Avalon they both will have great speakers to them. To others they will not like those speakers for one reason or another. What I find funny is today its Kharma, next week its Avalon, the week after that its something else. I always like reading old post where one person will say something is the best they have ever heard until they hear something else. I have been very lucky (I think) to have owned many speakers and all have their strengths and weekness. One of the best systems I have every heard was with Avalon Radians. Now does that make Avalons the best, no but they where nice.

This is starting to sound like the person who buys a BMW just to hear another person say they use to like BMW but now Mercedes are the best. They all are very fine and I would love to own either.
