Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!

«Any relatively well designed speakers could be my endgame , thanks to my grand-grand - grand-grand- dad Herman Von Helmholtz who create modern acoustics science »-- Anonymus Helmholtz descendant 🧐

There is no end game speakers without end game room ... Many  upgrading is born from that forgetfullness ...

She gave me the "contract" to terminate you but never mention this detail for the burying ...She mention a lake ... 😁😉

Welcome here by the way....

Von Schweikert Audio Ultra 55 actives. Told my wife to bury me in the crates.

Thanks it is a pleasure to be understood ...

Just a precision the minimal acoustic satisfaction threshold exist for all speakers at any price ... Because room acoustics problems are not theoretical problems only but are related to each type and each design of speakers, nevermind the price ... The acoustic problem of a speakers/room relation is not solved the same way for all type of speakers, nor for all size, nor for all price of speakers ...

To go to the maximal acoustical satisfaction threshold , not only  physical acoustics but  psycho-acoustics measures are necessary  and  we need DSP as the BACCH filters, also we need  mechanical control of vibration/resonance and  we need a control over the electrical noise floor levels in the house/room/system pieces...

There is not a crowd there passed this maximal acoustical threshold of satisfaction ... It is less about cost in money than knowledge... For sure a top system cost more than mine ... Even if i am happy with the minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold ( the adjective "acoustical" here refer to acoustic(s) in the plural not to mere room acoustic ) .

I wish you the best for christmas and for your audio journey...

@mahgister "ENDGAME means that we are so happy passing this threshold of MINIMAL acoustic satisfaction when acoustic problems are solved..."

ENDGAME  means that we are so happy passing this threshold of MINIMAL  acoustic satisfaction  when acoustic problems are solved , that we know that upgrade even if they are possible exist , they suddenly  appear way less interesting ...

Thats my situation with a very low cost system well embedded ...

We cannot know which could be our end game speakers BEFORE embedding them the right way in our SPECIFIC electrical grid/house/room/system...

But most people anyway judge by price tag more than by acoustics ...

For sure my Tannoy dual concentric were way higher end than my actual small active low cost speakers and the Magnepan of some friend too are more high end ...

But guess why i prefer my actual low cost active speakers ?

I embed them well acoustically , mechanically and electrically ...It was not the case with the magnepan nor with my Tannoy better speakers

My actual low cost speakers  punch over their cost/design level by the modifications i put in place for sure ...

Then conclusion :

Give me any basic good speakers and nevermind his price i will make them play at their optimal and then i will be happy ... It is much less about money and taste and much more about acoustics basic  and embeddings control ......

My experience and my 2 cents ...

My end game could be any basically well designed speakers at almost any price ...
