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"

Yes!!  I had many expensive and varied cutting edge speakers.  Around 2004 I was living in a small condo for temporary housing between homes.  Enter the Totem Forest Loudspeakers.  Gave them up when I moved to our new home.  They haunted me ever since so....I finally got the new Totem Forest Signatures and I have found my happy place again except they are vastly superior to my old Forest's.
Problem solved...Totem speakers sound great anywhere because they are musical instruments.  You can drive them with a Powernode 2 integrated $799!  

Well said, ASVjerry!  Wasn't sure where you were coming from but I think you are the fortunate one.  After wasting way to much money, not to mention the time and aggravation, I have stepped it back to a very basic setup which puts music first.  Enjoy your system and have fun;)
I gave up on the Wilson line because of their inherently flawed design of group delay and necessary on Axis listening requirements!  Any speaker that needs to be aimed at your head like a laser has never sounded musical to me.  Dynamics are restricted as compared to a good speaker with great off axis response.
The Bozak Concert Grands are very special.  My brother had a pair...really did justice to classical music.  Still have a pair of Bozak B-313's gathering dust!  Maybe someday I will resurrect them:)
The Schlagermeister...building the horns...crossing them over...Schlagerella!!  Nice job
Tuned ears?  That explains my lifelong pursuit to get the sound back that I heard from my brothers Bozak B-313's!  Only recently have I got together a combination that delivers the emotional content with the increased fidelity of modern design.
