Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.


Hi Audiogoners have you you ever had a local dealer that is so pashonet about audio. That they let you bring in your system for fun and try a $10 000speakers. And you have been to every other local dealers shows and listened to $400 000 and above systems. And then tried a pair of speakers and had so much synergy with your budget system and said omg. This blows all other systems I heard for a fraction of the cost of most others? And have been always happy with that pair of speakers and your system for the rest of your life?

Please share your experience"

That's sort of me.  Seven years ago I did a home trial of my Ohm Walsh 2000 ($2800/pr), kept them, and have never looked back.  They are not perfect, but they are perfect for me.  I can afford them, I love listening to every kind of music on them every chance I get, and they work really well with my gear and my room. 


Through my local audio club, I hear a lot of speakers in many price categories.  Some of them I really like, some, not so much.  But so far, for the eight years I have been a member of this club (and also attending audio shows), none of the speakers I prefered over my Ohms cost under $10,000/pr, with many of them costing much more.  Subtract the speakers that simply would not work in my room (I have a low ceiling and not a lot of space for things like panel speakers), and the DIY speakers which I would never attempt, and I am pretty sure that the Ohms are my last pair of speakers (I am 56 years old).
