Interesting comments, of course I have no idea when my game will end.
That a said, I love numerous speakers around the house, JBL, Mirage and others with my current favorite main entertainers being Sonus Faber Olympica II's with an ancient M & K 12" active subwoofer. I've considered replacing that sub unit but it fits in and works seamlessly in the room with the Oly's.
The Oly II's fill the family room nicely, provide hours of beautiful listening, especially with vinyl or SACD's, along with a wife who wears hearing aids yet loves how they look. The no boxy fine Italian craftsmanship captivates her. If these are my end game speakers I can live with and enjoy them until then.
Since I no longer work in the HiFI business I think I can stick with the Oly II's indefinitely and enjoy the variety of some of my buddies amazing systems as well, each with its own sonic favors.
I feel extremely fortunate to have found the Oly II's here on AG years ago and currently experiment with less visual components like tubes, cables and sources often discovering a tweak here and there that is fascinating... These bits weigh a lot less and don't require an entire system rebuild or room remodel to get things right.
Grateful to be enjoying a fantastic life long hobby and the music that can delivered to my ears.
Hoping you all can appreciate the same... I am satisfied. I feel speakers are such a personal, multi factorial, and situational choice.
Will there be a speaker upgrade? It's tempting after listening in on some of my buddies systems... Yes, No , Maybe...
