Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.

Hi all! I think this maybe my first post :)
The answer is yes. I own a black set of Sonus Faber Amati Futura and use them regularly in my "A" system. I honestly cannot see myself needing more or feeling short changed if I hear better. Its a nice place to be. I have a "B" system with a lot of valves running, and that'll be my tinker den.

I'll probably never upgrade from my Canton Ergo 1002DCs. Mainly because I'm retired and I'll never have that much in discretionary funds again. But I have a lot more time to enjoy my large music library and to shop vicariously through your posts.

I think that to have the response that it will be the last speaker I will ever own, will be after I had listened and owned many speakers and I finally found a very high quality, expensive design that is a keeper. 

I'm probably going to horrify most of the folks on this thread. 

I started out in audio when I was 14 with a Lafayette pair of speakers, integrated amp and a Garard table with a Stanton cartridge. 

When i was 23, I swapped a pair of Warfdale bookshelfs for a pair of Altec Lansing 604Cs. 

I added rhe Mastering Lab Crossovers. 

I've had the 604Cs for 39 years. I'll have 'em for another 39 years. Nothing beats em for the money, or at a price multiple of 20 times the amount that I have ever heard. Nothing comes close, IMO. 

Also: There's something to be said for your ears getting tuned to a pair of speakers. I don't know why that concept never comes up.
