Probably never replacing my Ohm Walsh 2000s, purchased new in 2009. Each one has its own dedicated Vandersteen 2Wq sub with M5HP battery biased crossover. I had these before the Ohms, with a pair of Vandersteen 1Cs. The Ohms have responded beautifully to every equipment and cable upgrade I have made over the nearly 14 years I have owned them. They are great on all genres, IMHO. I go to some shows, and am active in my local audio club, so I get to hear a lot of gear and speakers. Nothing near their current price of $3800/pair that I have heard makes me consider replacing them. If I win the lottery, sure there are mega buck speakers I would consider. But the reality is that the Ohms with the Vandersteen subs is probably my forever setup.
Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!!
For years and years, I brought in a multitude of different speakers into my listening room, never really being truly, completely satisfied with any of them. So the speaker merry-go-round went on and on, until I finally found the speakers that put all of that to rest. Not only was I dissatisfied, I was also going broke in the process. All that buying and selling was killing me and stressing me out, as well. It was the Revel Salon 2 speakers that finally got the job done for me. Once I got my hot little hands on the Revel Salon 2 speakers, it was all over. Now, I have absolutely no desire to switch out the Salons for anything else. The Revel Salon 2 speakers covered all the sonic bases for me, truly capturing my imagination, from top to bottom, like none of the others completely did. I get to hears all the new speakers at dealers and at shows, and they all sound just awesome, too. But, still, for my money, the Salons 2s are the ones (they’re just that good). The Revel Salon 2 speakers turned out to be all the speaker I think I’ll ever need, and will be with me for the duration. For which, my ears and my wallet thank me.
