Journey ending speakers

Listening to to my  stereo last night thinking about what upgrade I may do in the future. May upgrade my CD player or change phono cart or a new arm? But one of the things I will never change is my speakers. My journey has ended with the speakers I have now. Are you like me and have your forever speakers? Oh mine are a set of 30 year old 4 way JBL  Studio Monitors 4345s.

Change the speakers right now. As fast as you can    Spend as much as you can on next pair. JBL a great speaker but it's 2017. Don't take this message the wrong way
  Also upgrade that DAC

If my journey ended today I would go with ATC SCM 150 or 200 tower series.

Um, James, you don't exactly talk that way on the Tekton thread......Just an observation.

+1 ATC SCM 150 or 200

It took me 20 years to eventually get their top of the line 150 but I enjoyed ATC sound all along from SCM 20 to 100 and ultimately 150. Journey is not necessarily over but someone someday hopefully will eventually make a better speaker... kind of scary that 25 year old technology (with some tweaks) still outperforms everything else, as far as my ears are concerned.

@ mr_m Why would I discuss my forever speaker on a Tekton thread? no one has asked. I don’t plan to keep the Mini Ulfs for more than a couple of years (or any speaker for that matter) although I could end up keeping them around as a secondary. This doesn’t diminish the amazing product Tekton is manufacturing right now. I just have no plans to settle down with speaker swaps until I am much older. Larger ATC’s have been my end game plan for years. They are the most....honest? sounding speakers I’ve heard.
