My first high-end speakers were a pair of Bozak Concert Grands back in the late 1970s. Hand build, hand-rubbed finish. Beautiful looking and beautiful sounding. Tri-amped.
Very satisfying. I moved on because we purchased a different home and the room was not fit for those monster-size speakers.
I've been building speakers for the last 40+ years with varying degrees of satisfaction. Recently built a speaker that has outperformed every one of its predecessors. No more building.
