Last year was my purchase/downsizing year. Didn't have to buy better speakers but started looking at options domestically as well as abroad including some hard to find ones here in the States.
So not everything was readily available but I had a short list of possibilities I whittled down. Almost chose a Fritz but a speaker came up out of the blue from a brand I didn't know existed and the birch plywood box (not Closer) sealed the deal and they perform as reviews stated.
There's a few products I would like to try be it amp, dac, speaker but standing pat and not chasing gear at the moment. Perhaps if something comes up used at a great discount, then perhaps.
Now trying to sell the gear the new ones replaced and I think alot of people are standing pat too. Slower market, new or used.
