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.

Mine were right under my nose. I've been a Maggie guy for years, but I wanted to change my room around and panels weren't going to work well. So I popped in my HT speaker..and...wow.....I will never doubt the excellence for my Goldenear T1s again.

Well for me maybe “brand” for the long haul. I’m on my third pair of Daedalus Audio loudspeakers going back nearly 20 years. My current Apollo’s (V2) are by far the best of the lot—sonically and visually stunning! The only thing that would tempt me away would be large Sound Lab stats—the only speakers I have heard that reveal what minor limitations the Daedalus possess. But I’ll need a bigger room and more powerful amps to make that leap—hopefully someday soon.

A speaker that I loved and really regret parting with is the PSB Platinum M2.   Foolish for selling and will buy again someday

I just purchased a pair of B&W 805 D3’s. I’ve been thinking about purchasing a pair for a long time. I’ve had three other B&W speakers over the years. I recently found a pair of 805’s in mint condition listed for sale and available locally. They were basically brand new/never used. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to pull the trigger for a variety of reasons. I also prefer the D3’s cabinet design vs the new D4 with the aluminum/leather top and aluminum back plate. So far, the 805’s have been a great addition and will be my forever speaker for a very long time.
