Avalon

January 27, 2003

I'm thinking of buying a pair of Avalon Eidolon Diamond speakers, which sound great to me but are also very expensive. I'm wondering if you've heard these speakers and what you think of them. Is the extra cost for the Diamond version justified?

A few SoundStage! Network personnel heard the Eidolon Diamond speakers at CES driven by Ayre Acoustics electronics. The sound was some of the best we heard anywhere in Las Vegas. You are right -- the Eidolon Diamond speakers are expensive. But if you have electronics that mate well with them, they can make some beautiful sound. We were unable to compare them to the standard Eidolon, so we can't comment on the extra cost of the Diamond version.

Rare review

January 15, 2003

Thank you for the review on the Accustic Arts transport -- not that I can afford it, but because it is so rare to find transports being reviewed today. Keep up the good work, and I hope you review some more (more affordable ones too).
