New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid

The older b&w speakers were really nice and filled the room very comfortably. Older speakers have value if they’re in good condition and it sounds like you’ve done some things to yours thank you so much to make them really nice.

New speakers are different these days and require absolute perfection with all the components. I have older b&w speakers and they are comfortable to listen to.

I don’t like all these new creations that seem to say you’ve gotta do all this stuff to make sure they reach their full potential. Thats not how it should be.

The industry is changing and it’s quite impractical for anyone to listen to many speakers. It’s unfortunate they require dealers to buy the speakers before they sell them. The whole means of distributing nice speakers is problematic.

This reminds me of the shows where people buy homes in Alaska, on a beach or in the Bahamas and they look at three homes and then they make a decision. I would like to revisit those couples who relocated to a cabin in the middle of Alaska somewhere which has no bathroom and sometimes no running water and see if there are still married or alive. And they seemed so happy when it all began.

I think the same show set up would be great for people buying audio gear.
