I tend to own sets of speakers for a very long time, and those speakers tend to be small box monitors that are either manufactured in Britain or are influenced by British/BBC tastes. I seldom just go out and replace a pair of speakers. Most of the time I buy a new set of speakers simply because one of my speakers goes belly-up. Yeah, having a subwoofer is pretty important, but from mid-bass on up the Brit style monitors project convincing dynamics, staging and tone, at least for Classical & acoustic jazz. Obviously, I'm not a sound pressure junkie, either. Right now? A pair of NOLA Boxers. Enjoying the heck out of 'em, too.
Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!!
For years and years, I brought in a multitude of different speakers into my listening room, never really being truly, completely satisfied with any of them. So the speaker merry-go-round went on and on, until I finally found the speakers that put all of that to rest. Not only was I dissatisfied, I was also going broke in the process. All that buying and selling was killing me and stressing me out, as well. It was the Revel Salon 2 speakers that finally got the job done for me. Once I got my hot little hands on the Revel Salon 2 speakers, it was all over. Now, I have absolutely no desire to switch out the Salons for anything else. The Revel Salon 2 speakers covered all the sonic bases for me, truly capturing my imagination, from top to bottom, like none of the others completely did. I get to hears all the new speakers at dealers and at shows, and they all sound just awesome, too. But, still, for my money, the Salons 2s are the ones (they’re just that good). The Revel Salon 2 speakers turned out to be all the speaker I think I’ll ever need, and will be with me for the duration. For which, my ears and my wallet thank me.

@skchun The wife and I are true racing bike fanatics, but when I reached "that age" (+surviving a serious bicycle accident) I went for a soft-riding laid-back angled Bianchi Infinito to last me through my golden years. I think several pro bicycle racers still use them in the cobbled classics like Paris-Roubaix. Componentry? Campagnolo, of course! We watch practically every pro stage race, as well. |
