Lovely pair of Avalon Idea mark II loudspeakers in maple, in fabulous condition, both sonically and cosmetically. Purchased from authorised dealer a couple of years ago. I have the boxes and all accessories (including the spikes (the stillpoints in the photos are not included in this sale). Only selling to make way for an upgrade. Retail list price is £11,700 so grab a bargain. I have owned many brands of speakers - B&W, Neat, PMC, Linn. The Avalons are on another level - transparent, detailed, musical, neutral, and with a supremely holographic soundstage. I might end the auction early as these are advertised elsewhere (pink fish). Would prefer collection or local meet up.

Avalon Idea in cherry finish in excellent condition. Only two tiny marks on the edges of one speaker as described in pictures. It comes with the original papers, spikes and double shipping boxes. I ship worldwide from Paris, France. Shipping exact cost will be defined based on location and preferred courier. I’m not interested in any sort of exchange. Below a description from the renowned UK dealer Lotus HiFi: The IDEA represents a synthesis of Avalon’s key aesthetic & sonic ideals into a sleek form. Combining Avalon’s innovative construction & renowned cabinetry, as well as their latest technological innovations in circuit designs, the IDEA will unfold an expansive soundstage in the most modest of listening environments. Transparency & expansiveness in soundstaging are at the heart of the IDEA’s brief, while never sacrificing or exaggerating immediacy & dynamism. The quiet black backgrounds & crisp articulation that distinguish & set the stage for every Avalon design lie at the foundation of this incredibly musical communicator. Offering vivid dynamics & harmonic textures within a panoramic soundstage – built upon an incredible low frequency foundation that belies the IDEA’s modest cabinet. Like all Avalon Acoustic products, the IDEA is designed & built in Boulder, Colorado to exacting & meticulous standards. Driver Compliment: 1? Proprietary Composite Neodymium Tweeter (2) 7?
