Wilson to Tekton to ????
Ok, here we go again. I started 2 threads a few years ago. "What did I do?" was the title of the first one. Look it up if interested.
This is what I did. I sold my used Wilson Sophia Series II for $1000 more than I paid for them. Then I spent most of that money on Tekton Moab speakers. The system was in a really large room and the Moabs did not look out of place and the fact the actual speakers were higher from the floor gave me a sense of "Being There". I loved them.
Now I moved to a smaller house, room. These Moabs now look like I has 2 standing closets in the corners of my room. Black in color does not help. But the sound is still very nice and I plan on buying the Townsend bases for them.
But I know in my heart that the Wilson speakers would be perfect in this room.
Here is what I have learned. Never Sell Anything.
@baylinor I don't sell much either. In the result I have some superb classical pieces like Audio Research SP10 and Krell KSA50, their first product. I did sell my Linn though and I'm now three record players on. You're right to keep all the original packing. Fortunately I have a big loft space and plenty of room left. |
Thank you for raising this. Downsizing is a big topic all by itself and worth discussing. I turn 74 this year, fortunately my wife and I are both in very good health. The issue is heightened for us as we don't have children. But we certainly have a lot of 'stuff'. We have different views on downsizing. My wife says we really must start now and she has started going through her books and giving them to charity shops. I have 4000+ LP albums; I know that's a lot less than some. No I can't listen to them all but I want the option to do so. I enjoy being around all the accumulations of stuff over a lifetime and don't want to get rid of anything while I remain able to enjoy it OK I may soon round that final bend and be in the finishing straight; but when big bang time comes and I can't use it any more it can all go to auction sale. |
