Possibly. Depends on what they are. |
New girlfriend would make me much more happier |
If they were the MBL 101 X-Treme Reference speakers, (and a room big enough for them)...and the rest of the MBL Reference electronics. |
Nope. World peace would, though. |
Ill take a tall blonde....oops already have one...looks like Magnepans for xmas! |
If you start to ask questions like this, the end of the world looms near. |

Phasecorrect, do you have 2 Maggies?? |
New audio toys to play with always makes me happy. |
"New girlfriend would make me much more happier"
If your current one knows how to find Audiogon and knows your username, you just might get your wish.
Shakey |
"Happier than what?"
Other posters, maybe? |
A new girlfriend would make my current girlfriend uncomfortable, thus generating less happiness all around. |
Unless the two got along very well.....then.....!! |
Make you happier? If they sounded better... yes |
Na...you don't know my girlfriend! |
I don't have current one. I'm just batchelor again after recent divorce:-) |
New speakers would make me more happy than a new girlfriend. Speakers sound better, cost less, don't put on weight, don't tell me I need to change....wait, what was the original post? |
I'm too lazy to scroll up but I think it had something to do with being happy with a better sounding girlfriend. Was it Groucho who said, "women should be obscene and not heard?" I don't subscribe to that way of thinking, but I like the quote anyway. |
Kharma Grand Enigma...rather have 1 Million they cost. |
If a new girlfriend could sing like an angel I wouldn't need audio. |
Very happy with my speakers, but getting my listening room rebuilt would make me VERY happy! |
they already have - the cambridge aero 2's |
Yep 2 maggies plus girl=threesome!...at least the closest I will ever get! |
Funny, this weekend I just put an old pair of Vandersteen model 5's in my system. I always thought that overall Vandersteen speakers were musical but lacked air, defined bass, and they never seemed that involving when I heard them at local dealers. That changed when I put them into my system, WOW. I cannot believe that I am even saying this. I got a deal on a beat up pair any for a year they sat in the back of my basement because I did not have the high pass filter to use them. I did not even set them up the way the should be. Go figure. They are not "new" but new to my system.
Happy Listening. |

Call me shallow, but yeah, I have to admit that looking back over the 41 years in this hobby, bringing new speakers home made me happy and the satisfaction lasted a long time. The two most notable are when I brought home a pair of Mirage M5si's in Oct. 1996 (my first true full-rangers plus a great room-filling radiation pattern) and my latest speakers, just 3 weeks old, a brand new pair of Magneplanar 1.7s. I feel like the cat who caught the canary every time I fire them up. They give me that clean, resonance-free, phase-coherent sound that I otherwise hear only from *really* expensive speakers such as Wilson.
And I still have and use the Mirages daily as well.
But reconnecting with my high school girlfriend after a 28-year gap has continuously made me happiest of all. We've been together 13 years now and married for 9. |
After I brought home used Aerial 10t years ago, I still believe that change or upgrade won't make me happy. I found there maximum performance perfection of tonal balance punch, stage, definition and details very close to the headphones. If I post here that I want to upgrade them, I'm sure that there will be plenty of responces, but pointless, because I won't go for >$2000 ballpark and never did. |
Thanks Johnny. I felt that way about my Quad electrostatics, early 70's and also my JBL 250 Ti's, mid 80's. Nice to hear of your reconnect with high school sweetheart. Wish you a long happy marriage. Pete |
Cz. Those Aerial 10T's are a very classic and timeless design.
It's nice to find something good and be happy :) |
