@immatthewj if you give it a try, you can also put on an ugly Christmas sweater and design pretty speakers. (Not me, I tried)

I agree that a grill can solve the looks of the speaker. No one ever criticized Vandersteen speakers for their look and no one ever wanted to remove the grills either.  I also vehemently disagree with @immatthewj about his weird ways of listening...

Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse
@thecarpathian that was really funny. I am sorry. Please keep them coming. But mix in some Florida roasting too

let me sum it up: you advertised your noble but still insane quest (only sensible to the insanest of audiophiles) as you would drive 12 hours each way for a speaker you had never heard and never seen. It turns out, you would have done it ONLY when...
