Laugh Laugh. The Eidolons are very very overrated with what
ever they are with, Spectral or otherwise. A box is a box is
a box....... Now with Electrostatics, now you are talking.
Big ole' Electrostatics(not hybrids like Martin Logans), Spectral electronics are fantastic!!!! Maggies are another excellent choice for Spectral, but you need the oomph. I recommend the DMA-200 and the DMC-10 preamp(used). Great combo: a pair of DMA-50s in mono mode and DMC-10 are also excellent values. The DMC-10 and DMA-50s make my Acoustat 2+2s really come alive!!!! It is a shame the Audiokinesis guy does not carry them with his Sound Lab M1s; I think big electrostatics and Spectral would make a great combo. I own ARC too, good 6550 tube amps are also a good combo for electrostatics and Maggies. As far as cables are concerned, the older SPectral stuff sound great with just about any good cable, just experiment. Avalons are salon fluff,STAY AWAY!!!!!!!
