Description :
The Avalon Acoustics Monitor loudspeakers represent a true breakthrough in the development of moving-coil loudspeakers intended for accurate music reproduction. Upon initial listening, the immediacy and presence of a live performance becomes instantly apparent. The intent is to closely reproduce the original musical event, as opposed to creating a "spectacular" or "exciting" sonic character which can impress upon first listening, but fail to satisfy over a long period of time.

The Monitor accomplishes this goal by providing the transparency and clarity which is lacking in many dynamic designs. Overall smoothness is achieved without depressing the high-frequency response, a technique used in some products. Low frequencies are rendered realistically and controlled, as opposed to a "larger than life" perspective, which can impress, but compromises definition and harmonic integrity.

This high level of performance is retained in virtually any listening situation. The Monitor has been specifically designed to elicit the finest possible performance from any amplifier, tube or solid-state, due to its easy-to-drive nature. Similarly, interaction with the room has been minimized, allowing ease of placement in a wide variety of listening environments.

The Monitor loudspeaker was designed and built to the highest standards of workmanship and performance. These standards are preserved through the test of time by careful attention to component quality and meticulous testing of each unit before leaving the factory. As a new owner of this Avalon Acoustics product, you can be assured that you possess one of the few great loudspeakers the audio industry has to offer.
