Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse

@thecarpathian that was really funny. I am sorry. Please keep them coming. But mix in some Florida roasting too

Ah, Florida!

Or as I like to call it; God's waiting room...

+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.

@thecarpathian ahahaha maybe I live in Utah and have four mother-in-laws? :)

I own a pair of Avalon Idea and their are terrific. Wide and deep soundstage. Musical and well balanced tone-wise. Great sound in a rather small footprint. They also look fantastic and built in a way that is not so common anymore. They look like high end furniture and the sound is not less!
