Budget Amp for Avalon Eidolon
Hello Whitewind,I'm sorry to hear that. The BAT 150se mono-block amps are very special to me and I wouldn't trade them for anything I've heard this far. I've auditioned many of the top well respected amps both tube (hybrid, OTL's) and solid-state ... 
Avalon Isis
Hi Alpha,I heard it had a diamond tweeter. I'm sure we will get the details soon. They were in one of the rooms at RMAF.Tom 
Avalon mid-range driver burn-out
Hello Alleung,If you are talking about little light brown spots on the ceramic mid drivers don't worry about it. This happens over time of normal use of the speakers and does not have any negative effect on the sound. Enjoy!Tom

BAT's house sound
Hello Classical1,Just you wait, it gets a heck of a lot better. 300 hrs or so and it really opens up and shows its magic! Are you using a BAT tube amp also? I'm one of the lucky ones who has 51se pre-amp and the 150se mono-amps. Over the years I h... 
David Elrod. the man , the cable the company.
Steve Bednarski from Balanced Audio Technology is good as they get in my book. He has always given me his time and has gone out of his way to help me and others even when it wasn't in BAT's best interest. I can't speak highly enough of him or the ...

BAT's house sound
Hello Jeff,It has been my experience that in the case of the 51se and the 150se mono-block amps that they certainly compete and push the envelop in the price to performance category. I haven't heard the VK55 yet either. Good luck Eps in finding wh... 
Looking for an amp to drive Eidolons Vision.
Hello Elberoth2,I have heard many amps on the Eidolon over the years. Both tubed and solid-state. People say that they love power but I have found that IMO quality is more important than quantity. These speakers will give back to you exactly what ... 
Talon Firebirds, Aerial Acoustics Model 20T, VR-7
Hello Dbk,I think you would be amiss if you didn't consider the Avalon Eidolon Diamond at this price level. I have heard speakers costing up to 4 times as much that I wouldn't and didn't choose over them. In the appropriate size room you would be ...

Balanced audio 31 and 31se pre amp any good?
Hi Keith,So glad you are enjoying music with the 51se and 75se. You know I have had my 150se mono blocks for almost 4 years now and I'm still in heaven with them. I've been getting out to hear a lot of systems lately and their is nothing I would t... 
Balanced audio 31 and 31se pre amp any good?
Hello Programmergeek,The BAT-31se is a fantastic pre-amp and definitely worth an audition. BAT is one of the best companies in hi-end audio today. Can you try it out before you buy?Good luck to you,Tom
