| convergent jl2 or arc ref 600 for my eidolons? Never heard the arc ref 600's before. Robert Harley loved the Eidolon/ARC combo. I have my Eidolon's matched with a Rowland 302 - this combo is fanstastic and the best I've ever heard with Eidolons. | |
| Pass Lab, Mark Levinso or JRDG for Avalon Eidolon I have a Rowland 302 and Eidolon Diamonds. Been the Levinson route with my Eidolons and didn't match well. The Rowlands offer exceptional perfromance with the Eidolons. Best I've heard with my Eidolons or others. | |
| Avalon Eidolon VS the Eidolon Diamonds Johnny,The bass articulation of the Diaomnds is all there in the vein of the regular Eidolons, except the Diamonds amazingly improve bass detail, nimbleness, and articulation at the same time the bass extension and visceral impact improves. I woul... | |
| Avalon Eidolon VS the Eidolon Diamonds I have owned both Eidolons and Eidolon Diamonds. I had the Eidolons for about two years and I currently own the Diamonds for the last 18 months. I agree with you that the Eidolons are fabulous. The Eidolon Diamonds take it up a notch more. I won't... | |

| Rowland 302 V. Krell 700CX Preface this by saying "IMHO"Krell - not musical, analytical, dynamic, great bass slamRowland - musical and smooth, fantastic soundstaging, full bass, recreates the live eventThese are two totally different beasts even though they are both solid s... | |

| Avalon Acoustics Arios???? Interesting enough, but the Arcus/Arios has been discontinued to the the limited availibility of the focal tweeter (I think Focal cut off Avalon or stopped production on the specific tweeter). The Avalon Ascendant is the replacement and from what ... | |
| rowland 302 v. krell 400..VTL preamp v. BATVK51SE I agree with the above. I would use cables that are very neutral and not rolled off (Cardas Golden Reference or Neutral Reference would be an excellent choice) and consider changing out the front end for something else (Wadia, Sony SACD, etc). | |
| Rowland 302 v. Krell 400CX Rowland 302 is a fantastic amp. All the Krell I have heard in the past is quite dynamic and analytical. I don't feel the Krell / Wilson match is a good one if you value musiciality and naturalness. Rowland does the best of both tube - like sound a... | |
| Which Solid-State Preamp under $7,000.00 New? Rowland Synergy IIi - retails for $6K - you can't beat it at prices 3x with what you are looking for. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs WATT/Puppy 7 For my tastes, Eidolons play and recreate music while the Wilsons are a very good 'hi-fi' loudspeaker. If you want musicality with great audiophile characteristics (imaging, holograpy) then go with the Avalons. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond Are they really great? I have owned both Eidolons and now own Eidolon Diamonds. Both are fantastic speakers and in my opinion, a benchmark in design and application. Diamonds surpass the Eidolons in bass extension and impact and detail and air in the top end. When I own... | |

| Vandys 5A Avalon Eidolon Wilson WP7 Aerial 20 Avalon Eidolons will give you the longest lasting musical enjoyment. Does all the audiophile things correctly, yet remains very musical. Bass is excellent, tight and fast - not over blown or over extended. Actually the fastest bass I have ever exp... |
