Avalon Compas

Hi,

I've heard that there's a new speaker coming out in 2012 from Avalon called Compas, which will place itself inbetween the Eidolon and Time (and perhaps exlude one or both of them over time...?). It will appearently be available with or without the diamond tweeter.

Does anyone know more about this new speaker?

As one who has owned both Avalon (Eclipse, Eidolon, Eidolon Diamond) and Tidal (Piano Cera, Piano Diacera now), know that the Contriva has real magic. That being said, I too have great respect and admiration for Avalon designs.

Well said Bvd and Link. Exactly why I am so excited about getting a chance to hear the Compass which may capture some of the phenomenal atributes (magic) of the Contriva, for a price within my budget.

Has anyone heard of a price on the diamond version of the Compas. I hear $35,000 for the neodymium, butI can't find a diamond figure.

@Wpc, I noticed one blog posted a msrp on the Compas Diamond of $50k, however based on my discussions with Avalon I believe that is not correct. The msrp for Compas Diamond should be around $41k.

Melb,

Thanks. I had read a forum refernce to the $50K and thought it was out of line. I wasn't able to find a credible reference until yours. Thx.

Yes I was told by Avalon that the Compás Diamond edition will be a "bit more money than the Eidolon Diamond", so I think that is pretty close to the mark atleast as far as US pricing goes.
