Do the original JM Reynaud Bliss hold up today?


Hi! I'm glad I found this forum while researching the Blisses as they seem to be somewhat known around here. I found a pair of pre owned original Bliss today for around $500. I have found a ton of good pairs around that price pre owned but I'm intrigued by the Blisses. Do they still hold up today? Is it a good trade for me?

Thanks!

Are you kidding? These are wonderful speakers. I would out them up with Triangle Comete Esprit or some Revel

Thats great! I think I’ll head over for a demo then. It’s a couple of hours drive but it might be worth it. I was just curious since I couldn’t find any info on the original bliss, only the new Silver and Jubilé versions and I got the impression that they were HUGE improvements over the original.

The only review of the standard Bliss I'm aware of is one by Nelson Brill for Stereo Times from 12 years ago.  His description fits my experience with six different pairs of Reynaud's including the Bliss Jubilee.
