Help me spend $6000

"I enjoy being ridiculed, talked down to, and reading posts that have nothing to do with the original question. "

Could it be that you had two separate threads about the same subject?  Good luck with the new speakers!

Maybe this is not a forum for me.

When I focus on getting better sound quality as the primary goal.

And changing in and out components year after year and just gaining something here and there maybe, in sound quality by losing something else somewhere else, By trying to match into a existing system something new.

That is not getting better sound quality it is just to get something different sounding it is what I call "chasing you tail", in my book.

And not gaining any new knowledge, by hook up another pair of speakers in this case (same procedure as for the previous once).

Nothing else than learning that speaker X sounds little bit of this and a little bit of that (in your room, with your electronics and your biases.). In other words will not help anybody else anything and it is useless knowledge except for yourself.

Maybe that is the case it is harder to learn new than just repeating old pattern. End of ranting.

Good luck with your new speakers whatever the are.❤️🎵🎶🎼💸

we all feel the need to rant every now and then, its ok

at the heart of this is -- how does one go about improving their system? what is the ’smart’ process? one can research and read a lot, ask for advice, but most folks giving advice are not objective or truly qualified (or neither)... so it boils down to biting the bullet and getting something you think will be much better and trying it

i think it is best to view this process as part of the fun of this hobby, as opposed to a big negative... we are trying to enjoy beautiful music in our private spaces, and we all engage in various activities and processes to achieve that...

also, alot of the fun in life, enriching experiences in life, come from trying new things

Hey Travis would love to hear your thoughts on the Marten Duo's when you have them in house and I hope they're the speakers you've been searching for.
