| SF Guarneri Homage "What tweeter do they use?" I believe it uses the Esotar- the same tweeter used in the Extrema. When the Guarneri came out the Extrema was still in production- the Esotar is a driver that Franco Serblin had some experience with. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Current vehicle: 1999 Honda CR-V 5 speedAlso, Robinhood 33 downeast flybridge cruiser, name: "Eidolon". It doesn't get any better than that. | |
| Avalon Sentinel Let me modify my post. I do agree that all Avalon speakers have a similar sonic signature, just like all speakers of the same designer/manufacturer typically do. This is not saying that they sound the same however. It is also reasonable to say tha... | |
| Avalon Sentinel Please allow me to debunk a few misconceptions. First, the Eidolon Diamond is currently Avalon's newest product but it is important to consider this as an entirely new design, one which is separate and distinct from the Eidolon. To simply consider... | |
| Avalon Sentinel I suspect that the new Eidolon Diamond challenges the performance of the Sentinel at a much lower price. I know Avalon is installing the new Accuton diamond diaphagm tweeter in new Sentinels. In comparison to the Eidolon though, the Eidolon Diamon... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Oh, I almost forgot. Avalon Eidolon Diamonds arriving next week, in myrtle burl finish. That'll do it for me. | |

| Jeff Rowland Amps? I would call the Eidolons among the most neutral deigns I have ever heard. If you think they sound aggressive, I would suspect that something in the signal path is not broken in. The Eidolons themselves have an extraordinary long break-in, needs 1... | |
| Jeff Rowland Amps? I had Eidolons and the difference between the Rowland Model 10 and the Accuphase A-50V was substantial. The sort of diffence that you can hear easily in 30 seconds: depth, transparency and bass control. The Accuphase does it all! Of course the Acc... | |
| System for Yacht You want to hear something pathetic- we've named our boat "Eidolon" after you know what. Most people think it is a play on words "idle on", which of course is incorrect as it is capable of going faster than hull speed due to the fact that it has a... | |

| System for Yacht Salt water is the worst, highly corosive to electronics. I have a Jensen unit (marine division) in my boat and think it's fine. Thought about having an alternative when on shore power but that would be overkill on a 33 foot boat! | |
| System for Yacht Important to use marinized 12 volt electronics as we all know the environment will be hostile to conventional home electronics. OTOH, if your audio system is intended for use when on shore power and if you run your AC when away (keeping humidity d... | |
| Pioneer Elite 16 by 10 Big Screen TVs, they made Pioneer made 16:10.6 projection sets which were halfway between widescreen (16:9) and standard (4:3) aspect ratios. They did this well before DVD's, and mostly to cater to widescreen laserdisc enthusiats. | |
| Best Preamp to Use With JeffRowalnd Model 2/BPS I don't think anyone would disagree with me that when faced with those choices, it is best to go with the Synergy (i.e. same manufacturer for both pre and power amps). Like your Model 2, it was my experience that the Synergy II (not the new "i" re... |
