Personally, the Hifi pursuit, after picking up the Hifi hobby again after some 25 yes out of the loop, has turned to one of exploration to find out what sound qualities and characteristics I now like.
Back in the early 90s, after hearing an friend of a friend's elaborate Naim set-up, and what was possible, I eventually bought a Naim (Olive) bi-amped set up with Epos 11s. Fast forward; got married, sold my rig, got divorced in early 2000s.
When I did pick up the hobby again, nearly 3 yes ago, I went Naima again, as I loved my system from the 90s, and what it gave me. But, no. I found, now in my mind 50s, the Naim sound just wasn't doing it for me.
Perplexed by this, my journey is now a case of;
"I Don’t Know What I’m Looking For, But I’ll Know When I’ve Found It"
...and I must say, I'm having a blast looking for it 😂
