Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse

If it’s a particularly good price compared to other comparable designs and they are in good condition why not?

Disclaimer: Heard Avalons once. Similar size and look but do not know what model. Liked them but found the sound quite unique. A lean sound for the size with a very expressive upper midrange as I recall. Were it me I would want to hear before buying. Proper gear matching may be key.  I’d be less concerned if DSP were in my toolbox  

Did that do the trick?

@jmkrajnik so sorry about your friend. Wishing him/her smooth treatment. Thank you for taking time to respond. 

$700 is a ridiculously great bargain, BUT only if they work properly.  Test them before purchasing or you’ll end up with a headache 

"one more: find something that someone wants where the speakers are from where you are."

It's Alabama, he would have to bring indoor plumbing and electricity...😆

Seriously, why would you say something like that?  Its not funny, its not.  It reflected horribly on you.  Whether you see that or not.  pos
