You not only MUST upgrade often, you have to come here and tell everyone ad nauseam what you bought and how great it is so others can see how smart and sensitive you are. I do this, and everyone thinks I'm great. See? It works!
Are advances in technology making speakers better?
B&w every few years upgrades there speaker line and other manufacturers do this to. But because I have the earlier version does this mean it's inferior? Cable manufactures do the same thing.
How much more effort is required too perfect a speaker? my speaker is several years old and all the gear and the speaker are all broken in. And now I'm being told to upgrade.
I am so confused what should I do?

@ghdprentice I am pretty sure he is just trolling |
The rest of my signal chain is in great shape. I invested quite well in all the stuff supporting the speakers and i can now accommodate superior Magico speakers. My philosophy is to avoid the upgrade cycle by buying top of the line products. My speakers were not top of the line and I need to change this. Most important component in a system is the speakers which are supported by a cast of characters that live in a rabbit hole.

If a manufacturer tries to masterbate the economy with upgrades every few years or even months, should we trust them to make their designs a labor of love? I don't trust manipulative people or corporations. There is too much fraud and snake oil in the audio business: claims that millimeter differences in signal path distances in speaker cables "smear" the signal traveling at the speed of light, skin effect which attenuates speaker signal current only a few hundredths of a decibel at frequencies slightly above human hearing vs DC current, "golden ratio" litz construction of power cables, and battery biased interconnects. Compare your system's sound to what you hear in a live concert hall and follow the advice everyone else gave on this question. |
