Cool, I will have to put a blurb in there about the Marten Coltrane Alto's..

@Kreg, I agree with your comments, especially in regard to the virtues of Avalon. For example, the new Compas is using even newer BCC ceramic drivers than Tidal, including the latest graphite-coated CELL concept drivers from Accuton. Also fyi, Avalon also hand-make speakers to order in your choice of finish, and with Compas, either ceramic or diamond tweeter. And Avalon's speakers are subject to robust quality assurance at each step of the manufacturing process, from careful matching of drivers to final testing and inspection procedures. With Avalon, you are a client, not a customer.

Cheers,
David.
