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 have a pair of Audio Note AN-E/Ds, and I have no desire or temptation to change speakers. They sound great with all types of music. They allow me to forget about them and just enjoy the music. As I make improvements upstream in my system, it just gets better and better.

The only way they'll ever leave my listening room is if I replace them with a version further up in the E line.

Pretty much.

I went through a few good speaker systems, then bought an Infinity IRS 1B system. I loved it ... until the dealer got in the Infinity IRS Beta system. When he offered me a good price on one, I jumped at the chance. Much of my system has changed since then, but the IRS Beta remains.

Well not exactly but almost. I first heard ATC in 1994 in a small hifi store in Aberdeen. The decision was immediate to buy the display model ATC SCM 20 they had and has been permanent so far - I have stuck with ATC and steadily moved up their product catalog to the very top - as they do so much more that is right for me than any other speaker - something "golden-eared" sound engineers can attest to. (Not that I claim to have golden ears - but I enjoy music more than most)
