Avalon Idea mk2 Loudspeakers We have for sale a pair of Avalon Idea mk2 Loudspeakers. These are pre-owned, one owner, walnut finish. These were my demo speakers for around 18 months and I sold them to this customer in 2020. RRP was 11500 when discontinued (mid 2020) plus 200 to the bases threaded for spikes or Stillpoints.

Avalon Acoustics traces its origins to the mid-1980s in the United States, with production of its pioneering Ascent model commencing in 1986. Founded by Charles Hansen—who later established Ayre Acoustics—the brand emerged from a passion for music reproduction, drawing on the expertise of engineers, musicians, and recording professionals. Based in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Avalon has upheld a heritage of meticulous craftsmanship over four decades, pioneering innovations like deep cabinet bevels for superior acoustic performance and dynamic energy transfer.[web:1][web:5][web:6][web:7]
The company specializes exclusively in high-end loudspeakers, spanning compact monitors to towering floorstanders. Renowned for their vanishingly low distortion, pinpoint imaging, and neutrality that rivals mini-monitors even in flagship models, Avalon's transducers prioritize musicality through bespoke driver development, precision cabinetry, and advanced 3D soundstaging. Legacy lines like the Precision Monitors embody milestones in detail recovery and fidelity, while eschewing diversification into amplifiers, DACs, or accessories.[web:1][web:3]
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Avalon commands respect among discerning audiophiles for reference-level performance and build quality rivaling six-figure icons like Magico and Rockport. Its speakers deliver source fidelity with extraordinary standards, earning iconic status without widespread hype, appealing to buyers seeking boutique excellence over mass appeal.[web:2][web:3]
