best dealer to buy a avalon speaker

Cornfedboy,Ucmgr,and audiopman are right !!

You MUST contact AUDIO UNLIMITED tomorrow !!
It doesn't matter where you lived they can send it to you with cheaper and faster shipment than anyone.

John Barnes and Carl are the man !!

In the Bay Area, talk to Brian Hartsell at The Analog Room. Brian is a deeply committed audiophile as well as a great source of knowledge on analog audio. Personally I treasure the contacts, knowledge, and service at excellent small dealerships like Brian's over some of the larger audio emporia.

For those on the East Coast in the NC-VA-MD area, Audio Art in Richmond can provide an excellent audition of Avalon's Eidolon and Eclipse models. Tim Harrison is very knowledgable and helpful, but expect to audition the speakers by appointment only.

There is no denying John Barnes of Audio Unlimited has put together an unbelievable set up with the Accuphase/Boulder/Eidolon. The room this combo is in is state of the art as well. Absolutely amazing. I only wish they would have had a pair of Opus on hand for me to hear.

For an excellent sales experience, great products and an overall quality presentation, contact Everett Fuller at Sound and Cinema in Alpharetta, GA (near Atlanta). The shop is truly devoted to high-end 2 channel systems and features Pass Labs, making it (in my humble opinion) a real class act.

Enjoy!
