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!

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!

Ah, Nirvana postponed yet again.....but perhaps a new twist to it.

Now, instead of 'merely speakers' *cough*, perhaps a Different amp...

...to match 'proper'. 😊😏

Merry PreXmas, y'all.....be naughty nicely out there... ;<{> hohowhoa

I had a pair, very briefly, in the late 90’s. Very pretty. They were unremarkable with my OTL amps that had been fine with my Martin Logan monoliths so I got rid of them. I personally wouldn’t cross the street for them, but maybe you have more power.

@celo ,

Are you OK with letting us know what town they’re in?

Just curious as to how deep in Alabama they are.
