Are Avalon still in Bussines

I have I have had a similar experience, and not around an audio show...although, Asia or Europe may have been hosting; in that, I left three voicemails over a two month span , but received no callback.  
Madisound does supply Accuton drivers

Good luck..agree, .great speakers

Me too.  Avalon, what's going on?  Great speakers, but I don't understand the customer relations or marketing.  Seems like they try to get people to talk with dealers rather than directly with them?

Dan you don't need to go through Avalon at all.

Most all of Avalons drivers are off the shelf parts. Carefully remove the woofers from the cabinet and the model and specs of the driver may be on the woofer itself.

Your drivers are made by Acuton of Germany you can always email them directly for the exact specs that Avalon used in the speaker and then source the drivers from Madison or another US distributor who can source the parts for you.

You will also save money that way, as most likely Avalon is charging a premium for replacement parts.

You may want to fix your speakers and upgrade to a newer design.

Those drivers were superb but some of todays high tech speakers are even better.

Good luck.

I used to own Avalon speakers and had the same experience with their customer service or lack of.  It take phone calls and e-mail to finally get through.  Not very good.

Last June I did something stupid and blew a tweeter in one of my Eidolons.

Avalon Acoustics answered the phone on the third ring. Using the speakers serial number they sourced the proper tweeter. They mentioned that most of the drivers they use are made to their proprietary specification.
 
Avalon required a bank transfer for payment or use one of their dealers for a more traditional method of purchase. I did the bank transfer and the tweeter was ground shipped and received five days later. 

I see a very similar looking tweeter on the madisoundspeakerstore site but the model number on my tweeters box isn't the same. Avalon Acoustics is a small and long established company with a reputation for snubbing some in the audio press. I've personally seen their speakers being used in more than a few high end post production studios over the years, and good enough for Rick Rubin.

Undoubtedly there are speakers that will satisfy different tastes. I'm always entertained by listening to a talented retailer define what is a better speaker. At this level of investment I'll continue to trust the choices of the industry professionals and support the manufacturer for replacement parts.
