If speakers seem to get in the way of my personal standards and divert any attention away from the music, they're outta here. I seem to get bored or curious sometimes, order some new speakers, and send 'em back or sell 'em off...the only way to really know if you like them is to try them in your system, and I am very happy with my "special edition" Heresy IIIs...the titanium mid horns just work better than the plastic redesigned IV's mids, and these speakers are very revealing of the other stuff in the gear heap...in a good way.
Don’t fight your speakers.
I owned a pair of NHT 3.3 for a year.
Did a lot of things right, but I could never just enjoy the music and relax. Upgraded cables, DAC, Power Cables, lamps and amplifier.
I heard the benefits of each upgrade, everything was getting better each time. But I could never relax and just enjoy the music.
I finally accepted my fate, sold the damn thing and got a pair of Dali Euphonia MS4.
Now, I am grateful for the NHT 3.3 as they forced me to upgrade all of my components and the Dali really shine on those, I can finally enjoy music and stop listening to the gear, but sometimes I wonder… what would’ve happened if I didn’t trade the speakers?
Would have I lost my wife, house and job along this crazy pursuit?!
Lesson learned: don’t fight the speakers, if it’s not enjoyable, change ASAP!
I’m sharing my experience hoping to save the time, money and sanity of others like-minded mule as I was.
Please share your experiences fighting with speakers and the sweet bliss one’s get when accepting his loss. Losing is winning in this case I’d say!
Have a fun time all the time!
