Feel free to talk me off the ledge

All my audio gear is squished into a 13’ x 13’ home office. Yet still I manage to fit 10 lbs of crap  in a 5 pound bag. It’s a 2.1 system and has been through at least 6 previous pairs of 2-ways (that go on the desktop for nearfield listening). 3-4 of those were powered.

Then I scored a reburbed, great-condition vintage pair of KEF 103.2s (8" woofer + silk dome tweeter). Like the other speakers that really work here, this is a sealed/acoustic suspension design. I’m in love with this sound, which got even better when I put a DDC in line before the DAC.

But sitting over against the side wall is my "other fantasy speakers," the ATC SCM12 Pro (also sealed, but w/6" woofer). They’re so amazing that I can’t bring myself to sell them.

So I’ll swap them in and out of the desktop system from time to time to drive myself crazy.

Net/net: I’m a fan of loudspeaker polygamy. It’s a victimless crime, unless you consider my wallet a victim...

Well everyone, I’ve ordered a pair of Tyler Timekeepers.

Very excited. I plan on doing a direct A/B comparison between the new Tyler’s and the Klipsch. I am really looking forward to it. 
man I love  this hobby! Let you all know how it plays out.

Congratulations,

You may find that you like both speakers for different reasons, as the two are both great speakers but each of a different character.

Maybe over time you could build separate systems around each - complementing and bringing out the best of both.

I still have an older pair of PSB Stratus Gold i, that I set up in my AV room and still love for playing my old 80s rock and big band. They do so many things so well, I doubt that I’ll ever get rid of them.

Most often I’m in the mood for something more subtle and laid back (light jazz, light-rock, Celtic, old country, old crooners, etc) and spend evening hours in my main audio room, relaxing to the Maggies and tubes.

Enjoy the music and the journey.....Jim

It's not a rabbit hole, which have limits and an end....it's a black hole, which puts you into Punky's Dilemma...kinda...

Wise words @bigtwin
