Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!


My audiophile journey has extended to over 40 of adventurous sonic delight. Over the coarse of my over 40 year journey as an audiophile, like so my others, I cycled through a multitude of speakers, amps, cables, etc,. Now that I’m an old guy, I’ve pretty much settled on my "End-Game" audio system for the long haul, primarily because I simply love the way it sounds, and also because, at this juncture, I no longer have the will, nor do I have the desire to continue the crazy (but fun) merry-go-round of audio components in and out like I did in years past (my spouse and my wallet thank me). When I look back on all the high-speed audio gear that I’ve owned down through the years, and after giving it much insightful thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that, after everything was said and done, my beloved Revel Salon 2 speakers were my overall most pleasurable and greatest purchase of all. What was yours?

I am going to cheat and answer this a little differently.  I am going to answer the question of "what was the most important audio purchase I ever made"?. 

The answer was a pair of Thiel 2.0 speakers in 1985.  Not that they were all that great but the options back then were pretty limited. What they did do was start me on the road to being a dedicated "follower of fashion", whoops I mean a dedicated follower of the Thiel brand.  I am now on my fifth and last generation of Thiel speakers,  the 3.7's, which are phenomenal speakers.  It is was great loss for the audio community the day Jim Thiel died.
