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!

If you are going to TN, you should contact Greg Roberts of Volti Audio and stop by for some audition time.

Misunderstood. If my TN trip wasn’t canceled, I would have stopped in AL to pick them up. We aren’t going to TN. 
 

@ozzy62 I did hear Volti Audio at FL Audio Expo. Great speakers!

let me sum it up: you advertised your noble but still insane quest (only sensible to the insanest of audiophiles) as you would drive 12 hours each way for a speaker you had never heard and never seen. It turns out, you would have done it ONLY when you were driving up there anyway, only a measly 5 hours away!

After all, you are just normal cheeky   

No no. At first I was fifty fifty. Then I thought I would open a thread here to see. Then I was leaning more towards 80% a no. Then I found out my mother-in-laws might be going to TN and they asked my wife and I if we would go. I checked the map and saw it was going to be extra 3hrs drive if we went. I told myself if we go to TN, I will buy them. Then mother-in-laws said they weren’t going to TN so that’s that.
