Revel VS Avalon

joecoherent (ironic username) sounds like the kinda guy you'd not wanna bring along to a listening session (or any other social ocassion for that matter). you're rude and lewd, joe, so nobody cares about yout opinions. on any subject i own eidolons. IMHO, these are the best speakers out there, at any price. (i attend ces yearly, so i've heard lot's of stuff there- including the revel line- and at audio shops all over the usa and europe.) they are, however, brutally revealing and will not sound their best without supierior electronics, the more power the better. to bmpnyc: no, avalon is an audio-only manufacturer; they don't do home theatre. stay tuned, tho, a replacement for the monitor may be in the offing that would be suitable for 2 or 4 video channels.

avalon is building a center channel and sub that will mate with symbols. prototypes were on static display at ces 2001 in the muse suite. kevin halverson designed the sub. the center channel proto used the same drivers as the symbol. BTW, i listened to an ht setup last week with avalon arcus's in front and symbols in rear. with this setup, you don't need a center channel. -kelly
