Where can I get Avalon Eclipse tweeter?


Vacuum cleaner hit mine.Avalon said the model was discontinued.i bought 2 new ones as recommended but 1) don't fit 2) sound quality doesn't compare.Speakers are 8 years old but surely there must be a equal quality or better tweeter available. HELP

The problem is not finding a quality tweeter but finding one that will work with the existing crossover. The Scanspeak Revelator is a better tweeter but how it would sound is anyones guess. I remember when I was looking at a pair of these a couple of years ago I noticed that the tweeters were no longer available. Avalon told me then that they were looking for an alternative; did they recommend the ones you bought? Can you have the damaged ones rebuilt? If they don't know of an alternative you are in deep doodoo. Going active might be the only solution if there is no tweeter that can work with the existing crossover.
Avalon sent me my new ones .I returned the damaged one but they indicated it could not be repaired.
Sorry to hear about this and my response will not help. You will see from my threads here on audiogon.....I had a pair of the Eclipse's for over 10 years and bought them demo from a dealer. Loved those speakers....and really without dropping allot of money listened to other speakers but still kept my Avalon Eclipse's. I had discussed the Eclipse's with Lucian at Avalon many times - and I believe it was one of their best efforts and also designed by Charles Hanson who is now at Ayre. There was something about that sealed enclosure. Anyway, when I heard that that Avalon no longer had replacement tweeters and they did not have a '' work around '' in place, I sold my Eclipse's here on Auduogon last fall. Not because I WANTED to, but I felt that I had to because if one of those tweeters went, they would make awfully big book ends or door stops....pre-emptive on my part, yes, but I got $3,000 and mine were in MINT shape. Fantastic speakers and too bad Avalon does not have a replacements ( although, they once did and obviously they are now gone ) as I would have definitely have kept mine. Stanwal is correct, in that any replacement would have to match with the existing crossover..... good luck and wish you the best !

I'm glad I didn't buy them from you !!!!!
