Overall, I have to agree with Stevecham. If you gave the Avalon's a thorough demo, and you know you really like them, that's fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't buy any new speaker. The ones you are looking at are just too expensive to take a chance on. Also, I would consider the 5A's, as well. Not surprising because Vandersteen is my favourite speaker.
Upgrading from Thiel CS3.6 to Avalon
I'm considering upgrading my 20yr-old Thiel CS3.6 to Avalon Opus or Eidolon. Do you guys think it worth the upgrade? My listening room is measuring 17(W)x13(L)x8(H) ft.(speakers along the long wall) Which one(Opus or Eidolon) makes a better choice?
BTW, my other components: Esoteric K-05, Gryphon Diablo, audience Au24e XLR and cables.
Thanks!!
