I have heard them several times in the past few months. I cannot say how they would work with your equipment. But in an all Spectral setup they are a very fine dynamic speaker. They are holographic with tremendous soundstaging and imaging. The bass is not bloated nor one note. You have to get used to them not being bright nor forward, like the majority of dynamic speakers. If you like jazz or chamber music, they are worth the money. As an aside, a friend and I heard the baby brother of the Eidolons,`the Ascendents. We went back and forth between the Spectral and ARC: there was no comparison the Spectral won out hands down. I have the Avalon Radians with an all Spectral setup.
Linkster: Cannot the Avalon Eidolons have more than one sibling? It is smaller and younger. Maybe the Ascendents are a younger sister instead. Quite demure but a pretty little thing.
