A life sentence!!!


If you were forced to keep one component in your current audio system for the rest of your life, which one would it be?  For me, it would be my beloved Revel Salon 2 loudspeakers.  Happy listening.

Oops @jasonbourne71. I think you makes it three, as @whart mentioned he still has a pair of QUADS up and running. I too have a pair, but they’re still down in SoCal in storage. I gotta bring them up to the Northwest this Spring.

I have all the planar loudspeakers a boy could want: Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa (upon which the MG30.7 is modeled), Eminent Technology LFT-8b and LFT-4, and QUAD ESL’s. Plus a pair of ESS Transtatics, which feature RTR ESL tweeters. That was ESS’ top-of-the-line loudspeaker (introduced in 1970 I believe) that preceded the Heil AMT-1. It uses KEF dynamic drivers for bass (the legendary B139 woofer, also used by David Wilson in the original WAMM) and midrange.

 

 

@ticat: Another Zeta tonearm owner! An overlooked classic for sure.

I’m surprised there has been only one mention of the QUAD ESL.

 

 

For the source component, it’s the Townshend Audio Elite Rock turntable/Zeta tonearm/London Reference pickup combination. For loudspeakers, it’s a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeakers with a pair of Rythmik Audio/GR Research OB/Dipole Servo-Feedback Woofers used in place of the LFT-8 woofers.
