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, and for two qualified reasons.

1.  My age - I've been in this hobby for decades and there comes a time when one must simply step off the merry-go-round.

2.  Discovering the Janszen zA2.1.  Certainly not a perfect speaker but very musical, affordable (though near the top of my range), good looking, and works best in unobtrusive room placement. The only downside is they are so revealing that other component upgrades are readily apparent.

wolf, "just sad"?  I'm not.

For one thing, I've been changing out speakers and other major components for so many years I simply grew tired of the process.

But more importantly I found speakers which are so satisfying that I don't feel any need to search further.  Rather like trelja with his Quads.

And then I still have a sufficiently large music collection, plus a number of cartridges I've not even listened to yet, that I can't imagine becoming bored. ;^)
