Dynaudio Evidence Temptation vs. Avalon Eidolon


Anyone able to evaluate these two speakers head to head? I own the Eidolons (standard, not the Diamond), have been intrigued by reviews of the Dynaudios, and am thinking of upgrading. My listening room has an 8-1/2-foot ceiling and a carpeted floor. If you can, please comment on the efficacy of the Dynaudio's reduced vertical dispersion. Thank you.

Hello Connoisseur,

I don't know if that going from the Eidolon to the Tempation would be an across the board upgrade for you.
Have you listened to the Diamonds yet? I recently went from the Eidolon to the Eidolon Diamond. I only have about 200hrs on the new speakers and I can tell you that the Diamonds are freaking amazing.

The music just pours out of these things. Not only will you hear new musical information that you never heard before, but everything you thought you heard before you haven't because these things give instruments and voices a (sound) totally new life.

The detail of timbre and texture sounds so real I sit there saying (out loud) "I can't beleive what I'm hearing". There is a big fat ZERO fatigue with these speakers and yet the music coming out of them is full of life energy and vitality that demands and keeps your attention. Just amazing!

For those of you who own Eidolons and are wondering if you should upgrade to the Diamonds I can't tell you how happy I am and how glad I made that decision. The Eidolon is a great speaker and the Diamond takes it to a whole new much higher level.

The only problem is sleep or the lack of it because I can't stop playing disc after disc.

Good luck to you, I hope you find what you are looking for
