"The End of The Road"

I’ve said, the end of the road for me was two years ago after I purchased Monitor Audio PL500 II speakers. Although I’ve contemplated several different speakers, I still have them.

They all have their trade offs, partly due to their being an imperfect solution to a problem. Sounds are created by point sources, which is worlds away from dividing a signal into two channels, and then relying on the brain to reassemble.

Aside from that, lifelike texture and dynamics come at the expense of extended frequency response. The ear won’t let you have it both ways. I guess that’s why many audiophiles have more than one rig, myself included.

i am pretty committed to my speaker/ amp combination: Vandersteen 7...so I guess end of the road depends on future upgrades and tweaks...my next focus might be building a dedicated space for music....but I guess I am hoping I am a LONG way from the end of the road....

i agree on owning different gear...and listening to it !!!!

The road never ends until we are gone, it's a journey.

I don't know about you guys, but I plan on living forever.....
