"Happy To Be Stuck With You!!!"
I don’t know about you, but I can no longer afford to buy, sell, and replace different components in my audio system on a whim the way I used to. Money’s too tight. Those days are over. And it’s such a pain to go through all that selling, buying and moving stuff, etc. For quite some time, I’ve made audio purchases with every intension on keeping the item for the long haul. I’ve just had to choose wisely. Case in point: I’ve used the same speaker cables for over 15 years and still counting. Why of course, I’m not actually stuck with anything, but there is one component in my audio system that I feel confident I’ll be sticking with for the foreseeable future, and that component is my beloved Revel Salon 2 speakers. I’m sure that others have had the same experience with certain components in their system that they’ve had for years, and years with no intension on replacing. Not stuck with, but happily sticking with!!! Happy listening.
My JSE Model IIs (a friend has them now, restored), the largest woofer is a DUAL voice coil. You cannot find one, or a dual voice coil replacement. The crossover, Infinite Slope designed by Richard Modafferi, is very unique, so a dual voice coil was used by intent. https://www.audioclassics.com/mods
Some used JSE Model IIs might already have improper single voice coil woofers installed. |
That is the same way I feel about my B&W 800 Matrix. I’ve fell in love with the looks alone when they first came out in the early 90s when they were in the cover of Stereophe. Said to my self one day I will buy them. Bought them finally in 2016. Never even heard them until I bought them. The rest is history. Bought and sold many amps , pre , cdp , cables , but these speakers are here with me forever. They are that good. |
