Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse


I have found a good deal on these, never heard the Avalon speakers. Is the Eclipse  still a good speaker today? I say talk me out because I have to drive 12 hrs to get them!

+1 to everyone who said "go on a road trip".  If you can afford the speakers and the cost of the road trip, make it an adventure. 

I bought the entry level Avalon NP Evolution 2.0 speakers for my son's system (on a road trip where he agreed to the purchase) and, years later, they are still functioning well with surprisingly decent sound.  They have limited bass, but sound decent in a smallish room.

Speakers can last decades with reasonable care. Make it an adventure.
