They are both very good they just have different sounds. I am not a fan of speakers that have more than one bass driver. At that price range I think the Avalon Eidolon is the most coherent and has the most correct bass. Avalons are extremely musical with all the information you can get with any speaker at just about any price. Most audio guys think that more is better. In the case for a single bass driver per speaker cabinet I like that you do not have bass drivers fighting each other. The timing is better. Case in point. It is very easy to find several people who have upgraded from the B&W 802Ns or 802Ds to the 801Ns or 801Ds and they will always say that the improvement is is huge using one bass driver over multiple drivers per enclosure. At that price you should listen to as many speakers as possible for as long as the dealer will let you and form your own opinion.
