Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse

@celo,  My previous post reads as somewhat of a vote to purchase.

As content as I am with my Eidolons I'd pass on the Charles Hansen Eclipse.

I agree with the issues raised here:

They need plenty of room and proper amplifier matching. The missing shipping crates make transportation and resale difficult. Then there's the tweeter issue which could render them useless.   

Enjoy the season.

@celo,

No wonder you’re nuts, you have two ​​​​​​ mother-in-law’s??!!

You sure you're not already in Alabama?

@thecarpathian that was really funny. I am sorry. Please keep them coming. But mix in some Florida roasting too

Ah, Florida!

Or as I like to call it; God's waiting room...

+1 to everyone who said "go on a road trip".  If you can afford the speakers and the cost of the road trip, make it an adventure. 

I bought the entry level Avalon NP Evolution 2.0 speakers for my son's system (on a road trip where he agreed to the purchase) and, years later, they are still functioning well with surprisingly decent sound.  They have limited bass, but sound decent in a smallish room.

Speakers can last decades with reasonable care. Make it an adventure.
