Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!

Yes indeed.  Several years ago, the absolutely incredible Revel Salon 2 speakers finally took me off the speaker merry-go-round.  I do believe that I'll be taking my Revel Salon 2 speakers to the grave with me.  What's your end-game speakers?

12 years on I have no desire to upgrade my Ohm Walsh 2000s, each paired with a Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofer. If I win the lottery, sure, I would start auditioning. But nothing I have heard under $12,000 the pair makes me want to upgrade. And, yes, it feels effing fantastic!

I build and design my own loudspeaker systems.
 
One of my builds was loosely based upon the Wilson X1 Grand SLAMM and was featured as part of my then system, in the UK HiFi Magazine HiFi News & Record review; the April 2002 issue.
 
Unfortunately I had to decommission the system when forced to sell my house.
 
Hopefully in late 2024 or early 2025 I will have some stability back.
 
Once this situation has been resolved, I will commence building a real successor, a 4 tower system somewhat larger than my X1 type build which will use massive subwoofer towers reaching below 10Hz. I have been working on this design for the last 3 years. 
 
Current speakers being used in separate systems are Yamaha NS1000s and Graham Audio  LS5/1s

Yes. Linn AV 5140, passive crossovers removed. Now "Aktiv" via digital crossover inside Akurate Exaktbox-i with dedicated amplifiers for each of the six (2 x 3) drivers. I have no desire to tinker further. Very, very pleased with the sound.

@ nicholsr

They do indeed exist. Jeff at hdacoustics is very good and I highly recommend a consultation with him.
