best dealer to buy a avalon speaker

call carl or john at audio unlimited. you're not likely to find a better deal or more knowledgable folks. they're just down the road from avalon's hq.

(303) 691-3407.

BTW, there are three 2-ways in the avalon line: the avatar, eclipse and arcus. IMO, the arcus offers the most bang for the buck.

Sorry to disagree with Joe Abrams, but Audio Gallery in Oregon is the WORST store I have ever been in. The owner is rude and obnoxious. I would rather own Bose than buy anything from Gary. Most people here feel the same.

tweety,
i live in a small south carolina town without much in the way of any quality audio dealers. about six months ago i contacted audio unlimited in the denver area about a used pair if radians that they has listed here on audiogon. carl jerrits was the gentleman with whom i spoke and he was certainly knowledgeable and helpful. i ended up buying a pair of opus from them and found their prices and professionalism to be to be unmatched anywhere. give them a call, i'm sure you'll be happy you did!

I've got to second (& third)a couple of the above recomendations. East: Terry Menacker at Overture.
West: Carl Jerrits at Audio Unlimited.

Both have been extremely helpful with products and advice.

Good Luck.

That's funny Jtinn, I hear nothing but praise about the Audio Gallery. Maybe you two just didn't get along?
