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.

Very happy with my Thiel 3.7s.  Upgraded my electronics a few times but I haven't found anything under $40K that I like better than my Thiels.  I did add a pair of REL S/5 SHO subs.  That was a nice addition but for sound stage and imaging, the Thiels are hard to beat without spending mega bucks.  

I bought ADS L710 in 1979. Still have them. 44 years. Just bought MoFi Sourcepoint 8s. Fantastically special and punchy. I won’t live another 44 years but I’ll keep these until I can’t hear.

Love my Legacy Signature SEs and consider them to be my endgame speaker.

Especially after upgrading the crossover replacing all electrolytic caps and putting Mundorf Supreme silver oil caps in the AMT circuit..I've had Tekton Electron SE, Infinity RS 2.5(these had amazing bass tho), KEF "egg" speakers, Monitor Audio silver somethings but the Legacy's just sound more like music than speakers vs anything else I've ever had.  I actually considered the Revel Salon 2 but I found the Legacy's used.  Using them with wiim pro, Hegal H90 as a preamp/DAC, B&K reference 3220 per amp.

After 20 years of buying and selling speakers to find my sweet spot I've settled on the Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary Bookshelf Speakers. My goal was a compact 3 way with great low end and a live soundstage and the Lintons more than surpassed that. My Vincent Audio SV-237 are driving those Lintons. My second system speakers are the upgraded original Klipsch Forte.  

Being of modest means, I am very pleased with my Epos Elan 10s. They give me the tonal balance, 'ooomph' and immediacy I like. Heaven knows I've blown too much $$ along the way. I've spent three times as much for other well-regarded speakers, each with their strong points, including Fritz, Amphion  and others but I really enjoy these Epos.
