Looking for my Final Pair!!


Been through the high end maelstrom for over 30 years and although I have enjoyed the ride, I desperately want to find speakers that exude dynamics, tone and presence.  I want to be transported to the Village Vanguard where The John Coltrane Quartet are performing any night I desire.  I want to feel the timbre of his sax 🎷. When I close my eyes I want to be enveloped by the atmosphere of the space and awash with the impact and emotion being expressed by the musicians.  I don’t want to hear what the engineers hear after they mix a recording...I want to be in the studio when the tracks are being laid down!  So far, Tannoy Heritage Arden have come to my attention, Klipsch Cornwall IV’s, JBL S4700’s or perhaps Spatial Audio X3’s?  Help

ghdprentice,
What were you thinking? He's made it clear before that he's already gone that route.
Enjoying the music without being hyper neurotic about ones sound system is difficult for any veteran audiophile.  The Cornwall’s help distract me from being overtly  critical of my sound and more involved with the heart of the music.  My suggestion for newbie audiophiles is to buy what fits in your budget once and enjoy the heck out of it...do not overthink everything!  The pathway to Dante’s Inferno is paved with tweaking and upgrading 😳

Good advice. But did we ever follow it? 

@gordon  : Fantastic contribution to all the subjects developed in the thread that enhance and helps all Agoners and especially the OP.

Thank's for that and keep walking.
