Avalon Opus without bass ?

I currently have avalon opus speakers that I really appreciate for their natural sounding. My problem is the bass they create, that puts my room into resonance ...
I plan to change them, but I would like to keep a natural and open sound, an excellent low-medium (as well as medium and highs ....).
I plan to listen to Avalon Eclipse Classic. Would you have any more idea ?

I used to have a pair of the Opus. They are excellent speakers. I have not heard the Opus ceramique, but it's my understanding that they were designed for smaller rooms - less bass output. If they retain any of the Opus midrange and highs, it would be a great choice.
Good Luck

You might want to try the Revel Studio as it is about the same price range, or if you can afford it, the Salon. They are both great speakers, IMHO.

Hi,

Have you looked at taming the bass resonance with some bass traps? Also, try to move your speakers a little further apart, and further from the wall behind the speakers.

Since you seem to like the sound of the speakers with your rig, I'd solve the resonance issue first (placement and/or acoustic treatments) before changing. Just my opinion, of course.

Cheers,

Tom
