Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse

how old are they? They might be fantastic for the right space but age and condition would be my concern

I don't know how old but I'd say at least 30 years old though the drivers and tweeters look good. Cabinet also looks good.

I would do it if they are in good condition at that price. You’ve probably wanted and dreamed about them for years, and time goes very fast. I took the same chance years ago on a pair of Nestorovic 5AS speakers that I had dreamed about, and even though I only kept them for a few years I never regretted the experience. I don’t think you will either.

Besides, road trips are always fun!

Actually, I am curious more than anything. Nestorovic is also one of the speakers I am curious about! It is just fun to experience all those past products that were the best at their time. I will probably resell them at one point but I want to have that experience. We love road trips but still a stretch for a purchase but still thinking, still thinking :)

$700? Lol. What are you waiting for?
