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.

I'll never get rid of the Radialstrahler MBL 101 X-Treme MKII.

...because you can't get rid of what you don't own. ;-)

That said, I'm glad to read of people's "keepers" on this thread. Gives me things to try to audition.

I suspect I'll want to have two pairs as both keepers, but I don't know what pair they will be. 

One question this topic raises for me is: Why have "keepers" at all?

Might one anticipate that one is going to try a different sonic approach just to mix things up? I realize that entails some trouble and expense, but I can easily imagine myself thinking, "Ok, I've had really wonderful speakers of Type X for a long time, but now I'm going to try to find the next keeper."

In other words: Why ONE keeper?

Am I the only one who finds change to another keeper a seductive idea?
