Avalon Indra vs Eggelston Andra III


I am curious about these 2 speakers.Did anyone had a chance to compare them?

there are two pairs of Aerial 20T on Agon now at a great price. better low, better high, actually way better high, and not hard like Avalon (hate those ceramic tweeters no matter on which brands), and better built.
As an Eggleston Andra 3 owner I can tell you that the Andra's can easily perform the most intimate of acoutic, classical, jazz, etc with ease and an overall musicality that is mesmorising - the andra 2's were good but the 3's have the edge in being able to perform anything and everything thrown at them without batting an eyelid. Simply sublime.
Utilising possibly the best tweeter ever designed - the Dynaudio Esotar, the high end is the smoothest I have ever heard and totally unfatiguing.
I think you would be more than happy hearing any of your precious music collection through the Andra 3's and never look back - I certainly didn't.
Eggleston really nailed it with this model - can they rock - yes indeed - but they are also capable of the most intimate music styles out there.
From my understanding, I don't believe Andra 3's uses Dynaudio Isotar tweeter.
They do indeed use Esotar - apparently a press report went out from Eggleston when they were being released stating they had a different brand tweeter - it is IN FACT the Esotar - sublime.
Please contact Eggleston themselves for qualification of this - many people have already!
So unfortunately the advertisments for them are mostly mis- represented.
Rest assured you'll get the best tweeter in the World
There are a number of Esotar tweeters. Dynaudio uses the best iterations for their own speakers and does not make them available to other manufacturers.

So don't get too excited.
