Scatlett - I know that my original post did not add any resolution to your sitaution, only to hopefully bring to light a problem that Avalon may someday address - and also, the compulsion for others to constantly offer no insight to the original posters questions or situations.....as the person who did buy my speakers the situation with the tweeters was fully disclosed.....and as Avalon will tell you, the tweeters can last a lifetime under the corect use. The only other option as I thought about it....was that the Eclipse's do come up for sale here on Audiogon and even on E-Bay from time to time and possibly buy a second pair as a back up. I really liked that speaker. I also know that the same tweeter was used in the Asscents which is / was also an amazing speaker.
