I have heard Avalon several times, not always my favorite, but some times really good. It's like always, the importance of the match with other gear. Tthe room and the acoustic is also important.
I have no doubt that Tesseract is a very very good speaker.
Thought, this thread is about the test version of Marten Supreme II.
I don't take a bad listening experience as the truth of a HiFi gear. But a good listening experience counts.
Bad gear can't sound good but good gear can sound bad.
Some brands makes me smile other don't. It's not always easy to say why.
It's also to some content personal. Especially when we talk about gear in this price range.
