@ozzy please stay off my thread this isn’t about infigo. I’m trying to find out about systems as well as music. I will not post on your threads moving forward. I was an audiophile before infigo and will be one after.

@bigtwin i started with a 1500 system. Def tech. I moved up the ladder of my last 20 years. Sometimes swapping out things month to month. Over the years I learned more. I heard better systems. I went from def tech, to b&w, Sonus Faber, Vienna Acoustics, revel, to Gato. I went from classe, mark levinson, EAR, Esoteric, Veloce, Kr Audio, Soulution now the to the company I work for which is INFIGO AUDIO. Learning more each time I moved up in price. Sometimes it wasn’t just about money. I realized what I listened to and what equipment performed best. Now my system is 50 times retail of what I started with but I’m in a good spot now and will probably keep what I have for a long time. I learned more about soundstage, depth, detail, transparency, low noise floors etc. It’s not always about money. We grow in this hobby. As we get older we know more and sometimes have more money to spend. My Gato speaker for instance retails at 14k. I have not found anything better to my ear unless it was 2 to 3 times the price for my room, system and listening habits. Synergy is also important. We all learn and spend in this hobby based mostly on our ears. Just enjoy as much as you can. If you ann afford it try it and enjoy. If not get the best you can afford and use what you know to maximize what you have. I do get tired of those thinking that the guys who spend a lot on audio are a bunch of inexperienced delusional audiophiles. Most of us got the resources because we were smart enough to create the income to do this. If you don’t spend a lot enjoy your system. But don’t judge this of us who do spend a lot. Cheers everyone. |
@phishhhhh4 imheard the vadersteen treo at a local shop. I actually enjoyed them and I loved the design. How long have you had them. |
@akg_ca i definitely understand how u feel I thought I would never spend this much but as I heard better I wanted better. Audio has really made great advancements |
@phishhhhh4 be sure to also join fellow Vandersteen owners on the Vandy forum i bet your system sounds great |
