    Just a trip down the road to Dave's then :)
    I have a soft spot for some the Avalon's only Steve, the Isis, a passable speaker sir.
    Congrats on your upgrade Steve.

    Tony,

    The Isis is indeed 'passable' but too big for my room I think!

    The new generation of Avalons are certainly very different to those that went before and I think that anyone who thought they knew the Avalon 'sound' would be surprised at what the new Isis, Indra and Ascendant models can do.

    It's very handy having a purveyor of such fine toys on my doorstep!

    We will pop in and say hello at the show next Saturday.

    Steve

    Steve,

    Dave is a genuine gent with the ability to actually produce a decent sound too!
    Look forward to seeing you.

    Regards Tony

    God, if these are genuine improvements on the Xenons then they must be a very, very special speaker. I simply don't have £4k spare at the moment.

    Drool.

    You just bought a pair of Avalon Indras! To quote the immortal Michael Palin, "You lucky, lucky bastard" Makes me feel deeply inadequate with my meager MA GR20's, though for 400 notes they were a steal . . . but Indras, now that's real hi-fi. Out of interest, or rather to fulfill my masochistic tendencies, what do you have going through them?

    Gosh that is a good price. If the Xenon's weren't already so obtrusive in my tiny lounge....
