Eggleston Andra to Andra II Upgrade?

Anybody have any experience with the older version Andra as well as the newer Andra II. Eggleston has an upgrade program and I was wondering if the difference was worth the effort...not to mention the expense. I've had my Andras for a few years now and have been quite satisfied...but you know the deal. You always want it to be more betterer...even when it's pretty damn good already.

One thing to consider is the upgraded speakers retain the Andra I's single binding posts rather than the dual posts that come standard on new Andra II's.

I was unaware of this when I bought a used pair of upgraded Andra II's and was surprised I couldn't bi-wire them as I'd originally planned.

They sound wonderful anyway, so it's no big deal.

Actually, Gary, Eggleston gives you your choice when you upgrade for no extra charge. I asked for bi-wire terminals and got them.

I owned Andras orginal version some years back, great speaker, lots of detail, energy and high POO ratio.

I upgraded my current Avalon Eclipse Classic with new tweeter drivers and improved a lot. This should be the case with the II upgrade for the Andras.
