Feel free to talk me off the ledge

Just picked up my new Rogue RP-1 from a dealer. That coupled with my Rogue Atlas, then to my Klipsch Heresy IV's with an SVS PB2000 pro has me over the moon right now. But funny thing happened at the dealer.. I couldn't help myself, I listened to some other speakers. I'm an idiot, a glutton, a fool. As you can imagine I'm now about a third the way down the rabbit hole. 

At the dealer I was enchanted by a pair of Golden ear BRX monitors, they were so sweet, airy and open. Can't stop thinking about them.

Now I'm looking at:

Paradigm founder 80F

Tyler Time Keepers

The Golden Ear BRX

Vandersteen's among others..

Am I nuts? should I join a support group (other than the other one I'm already in) ?

Feedback always appreciated

@jerryg123 "other than the guys at Audio Science Review"

What do they like? Did they even listen to the BRX? 

I guess both John Atkinson and Herb Reichert are deaf or hard of hearing, because they both liked the BRX very much.

I am sorry to inform you, “you are doomed”. Best to never listen to music again and if you must...only listen on a Panasonic boom box.

I’m torn between the Goldenear BRX and the more expensive, by about $500, Buchardt S400 MKII...both utilize passive radiators. My last passive radiator speaker was way back in the 80’s, a pair of Realistic (Radio Shack) Optimus 10’s, those speakers sounded fantastic. They had an 8 inch woofer and a 10 inch passive radiator. Here is an old print ad for them on ebay....these speakers had extraordinary bass that you could feel....
