@missioncoonery You're right on the money. I remember a few years ago the price for Isis speakers which was already substantial jumped 50% in a couple of years for no apparent reason. Avalon prices now aren't even in the ballpark of being competitive with other speaker manufacturers and so the company has become irrelevant.
Avalon Acoustics?
What's the deal with them? I see their website is up to date, but it's been years since I've seen a review or really seen anyone mention or recommend them. What happened?
