Some of the biggest audio places carry..


Stores that are ultra high end like Goodwins Audio And Overture Audio and Progressive Audio and many others seem to carry Avalon and Spectral, They seem to prefer it to all the Krells and Levinson and Pass and Conrad-Johnson And Audio Research, which more of these stores also carry. They all of coarse carry MIT. I think that when you get into ultra high end it becomes more a factor of buying as a system. And I think Avalon/Spectral/MIT are some of the best sound money can buy. Anyone agree? Spectral gear is very analytical, but when their hooked to a laid back Avalon, and "smoothed" out by MIT, their the most detailed sound out there

I have briefly heard the system you have made inquiry on with some very nice success. I also heard the Avalons/MIT powered with Rowland and/or Audio Research. As with any system, you must listen for yourself, and preferably in your listening space. I personally have attained a remarkably musical presentation with Eidelons as my transducer. It is amazingly revealing, with a huge soundstage, yet it does not forfeit the delineation which offers the accuracy I demand. This repliclation was realized only after much experimentation with eletronics and cabling. If , you are after a truth in tonality without sacrificing musicality you must work at achieving the most from your components, regardless of manufacture or the hype that accompanies them(positive or negative. I have heard fabulous sound from speakers or electronics in one venue that was mediocre, at best in another. As others have suggested, try to use your own ears and tastes. There are no magic bullets and no system, at least none that I have heard, can reproduce music flawlessly. Good luck, and try to enjoy. One last thought. Request home trials. Some dealers are willing.
