Met a guy the other day who swears by Avalon speakers and says they're the best. Their website confirms his claim, no surprise! New versus old brings lots of other stuff into the mix but it would seem the 1400 Arrays are well-priced compared to contemporary competition.
I agree with Phil () ...if you are happy with what you have..stick with it.
OTOH ... referring to the topic question: if faced with the 4430 & 1400 and you are starting from scratch and money is not a concern, then by all means buy the Array.
simple answer, thread shud have been 2, maybe 3 replies long.
