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"

I'm probably going to horrify most of the folks on this thread. 

I started out in audio when I was 14 with a Lafayette pair of speakers, integrated amp and a Garard table with a Stanton cartridge. 

When i was 23, I swapped a pair of Warfdale bookshelfs for a pair of Altec Lansing 604Cs. 

I added rhe Mastering Lab Crossovers. 

I've had the 604Cs for 39 years. I'll have 'em for another 39 years. Nothing beats em for the money, or at a price multiple of 20 times the amount that I have ever heard. Nothing comes close, IMO. 

Also: There's something to be said for your ears getting tuned to a pair of speakers. I don't know why that concept never comes up.

Btw, I recently had my Altecs rebuilt: new accordion surround, woofer, spider, high frequency driver. Caps in the Mastering Lab crossovers replaced with Jensen foils. 

Made a difference, even though there was nothing wrong with anything, if judging just from appearance.
