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


Hi Audiogoners have you you ever had a local dealer that is so pashonet about audio. That they let you bring in your system for fun and try a $10 000speakers. And you have been to every other local dealers shows and listened to $400 000 and above systems. And then tried a pair of speakers and had so much synergy with your budget system and said omg. This blows all other systems I heard for a fraction of the cost of most others? And have been always happy with that pair of speakers and your system for the rest of your life?

Please share your experience"

Thank you Spencer, I’ll take you up on that offer next time I'm in the area. My roots are there, plenty of family, born in Chester. I agree with you on your two points in that the Quads I mentioned are both one trick ponies and the Soundlabs are  full range but a bit too large for my space, at least my wife would say as much so probably a nonstarter which isn't to say that I haven't lusted over those speakers since the first time I heard a pair of A3's more than 25 years ago, thanks again for your gracious offer!

For my taste and room, I recently upgrade from the Paradigm Studio to the signature s1v3  with a sub,  I think I am very satisfied, no feeling of "something is missing" as before. The searching finally stops.
I have just tried moving a pair of Magneplanar 3.7i speakers and said this Is the last heavy awkward thing I will ever heft into the house, assemble and move around.
Will, I agree monitors really does draw you to the music, my friend Markr got me involved on single driver omega, very simple but they just draw you ,they are addictive, .  Spencer sometimes it's fun to hear overachieving cheap speakers perform, also I have to rotate to maintain them.I agree different taste and strokes.Sorry for this late response.
