Gorgeous Speakers! I'll wager they sound phenomenal!

I've owned a pair of Avalon speakers (Eidolons) for over 14 years and have never tired of listening to them.

And, what a beautiful listening room - which before the extensive sound treatment, must have been the most reflective room ever built.

Anyone know who made the treatments? They look too shiny to be tube traps, but maybe they are. ?????

Very impressive. For the price they would want to be four dimensional.
