Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I have owned Maggies,Infinity Quantems,English monitors(with and without subs),Artemis Eos Sig.s and the ones I plan to keep forever....I present the JM Labs Alto Be.

Sonus Faber Guarneri have been just wonderful speakers, especially when I hooked them up with a recent purchase of Graaf 13.5BII preamp and Graaf gm20 otl amp. This set is so realistic. The music is incredibly soothing, you must listen to Graaf with Guarneri. I am waiting for a Graaf Gm200 otl, this should be amazing.

After making my rash prediction about the Coincident Total Victories above (a bit over a year ago), they are history. I've replaced them with another high-efficiency dynamic speaker made in Toronto - the Fab Audio Model 1. These are remarkable speakers - a true 97db dynamic, with a much simpler crossover than the TVs, resulting in cleaner sound and an easier load.

If you want the imaging of mini-monitors, the purity and tonality of full-range electrostatics, the dynamics of horns and real bass, all in a room-friendly package that's drivable by 4 watts, these are the babies. I'm playing them with an Audion Silver Night PX25, and they are a serious step up from the big Total Victories.

There's no such thing as a "final speaker" - not for someone who has Stage III audiophilia nervosa...

I can't see myself ever leaving my Audio Physic Virgo 2s! They may be a little low end shy...but they really reproduce what is given to them. I recently added a Rel Storm...now I have it all!

In addition to their incredible natural dynamics, lack of compression, true full range, timbral truth and emotional communication, they free you from the need for high-power amps; select your amp based on its sound in the sub-1W range, and be free, my brothers!
