Avalon Opus Ceramique

Many thanks for valuable information! I also have these questions:

1)Do you think if any big improvement in sound quality if I switch from Ascendant II to Opus Ceramique?

2)Does Opus Ceramique sounds more like Ascendant II or Indra?

Just one bad thing about the Opus Ceramique in my personal opinion (also other older Avalon speaker for me), it need to lay down to connect the speaker cable, this is not convenient for those people who like to try different speaker cable from time to time.

I do think it will be a noticeable improvement and a actual upgrade for you.

It's kind of a mini-Eidolon. The imagining of Opus is really something when set up properly.

Enjoy!

It is more precise in the low, mid and high freq. Better timing!

Ceramique very limited in bass extension. Suitable for small rooms with construction material that traps bass energy (concrete). Bass is insufficient for medium size room. May work if listening position has large bass modes (e.g. chair close to wall behind listener).

It is not a big speaker. The bass unit is not thst big, so it does not go that deep. But what makes this speaker different to other Avalons, is timing!
