Decisive moments your your audio journey

Have you had any truly decisive moments in your time in this hobby? 
 

I would have to point back to the first time I ever heard Magnepans, it was a “whoa what was that moment?” moment. That was in the 1980’s. It was the first time I ever truly heard reproduced music that got the midrange right, without it being squished

I suppose mine started in 1967-68. I went to a Dick Clark rock show at the Stock Yards in Chicago. I was blown away by the stage speakers. Huge bass speakers with huge horns on top. They were JBL. I wrote a letter to JBL asking if they knew what they were. I was impressed they actually responded. I don’t remember what they were now but that started me on my JBL journey. In 1969 I bought a pair of JBL Dorian S12 from Allied Electronics on south Western Avenue. When I moved to Las Vegas I had to sell many pairs of JBL. 
Sold L25,L36,L40,L120,L300,AquariusIV(2),S1,4408
Kept L65,L100,L222,Dorian S12,B380

The day I hooked up my Marantz 6300 TT to my Kustom 250 bass guitar amp and listened to Van Halens first album when it came out. Since those early days the music has always been a constant source of gooodness. Equipment wise it would have be the discovery of sub love. Holy crap that sub opens up musical avenues I never dreamed of.
