Where can I get Avalon Eclipse tweeter?


Vacuum cleaner hit mine.Avalon said the model was discontinued.i bought 2 new ones as recommended but 1) don't fit 2) sound quality doesn't compare.Speakers are 8 years old but surely there must be a equal quality or better tweeter available. HELP

The problem is not finding a quality tweeter but finding one that will work with the existing crossover. The Scanspeak Revelator is a better tweeter but how it would sound is anyones guess. I remember when I was looking at a pair of these a couple of years ago I noticed that the tweeters were no longer available. Avalon told me then that they were looking for an alternative; did they recommend the ones you bought? Can you have the damaged ones rebuilt? If they don't know of an alternative you are in deep doodoo. Going active might be the only solution if there is no tweeter that can work with the existing crossover.
I was ready to buy a pair of them knowing that the tweeter situation was in flux but the owner decided to keep them. As long as you reveal the circumstances the decision is up to the buyer. I have had two tweeters go out out of at least a couple of hundred speakers so there is a good chance there will never be any problem.
