Marten Design Miles II vs Avalon Opus Ceramique..?

Hi,

Has anyyone heard either one of these speakers and compared them? Since they both use same brand of drivers, I was wondering which speaker design is better executed i.e. musicality and coherence?

Also has anyone heard the Margules Orpheus line of speakers also using ceramic drivers?

Thanks!

Frankpiet,

I have the Opus. Not the ceramic version. I have no reason to switch my speaker for anything else because I am very happy with the sound. But I am curious about the Opus Ceramic. Have you ever listened to the Opus (non Ceramic)? Any thoughts on the differences?

Thanks Sirspeedy,

Nice to hear from a fellow Avalon fan.

I could not believe the numerous improvements the Opus made in my system. I was really shocked when I first put them in and I am always very suprised (maybe still in shock) to hear what these speakers can do. Always an amazing adventure with them when the stars line up just right.

The only way I would move away from the Opus is to find a speaker that sounds as good (I bet impossible) AND is a little friendlier to my Tenor OTL amps. In the 3 years that I have been running my system this way, I have only had one incident with the amps. I have to be careful on how I bais the amps and what tubes I put into them. But it is all worth it when that great sound washes over your ears.
