My first were a pair of Mirage M1s that I bought second hand at an audio store. Loved them for several years and battled with what amp and front-end to drive them. Very rewarding with good equipment.
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?

My 2ch-audio journey began when my uncle bought his BOSE system at his home (don't even know the model or never really heard it) in early 90s. Bose was rear and expensive in Korea(South) back then. So I started my own system with Bose Cinematics 2.1. Then moved on to Goldenear Triton 3, then to Triton 1. But more utilizing the speakers for AV set ups, not 2 ch stereo.
When I had my first house, I bought a pair of Revel M105 speakers and I think these are the pair that really changed my audio life. My initial paring with M105 was Yamaha receiver. Then I tried goofie set up with center speaker 3.1 to see if it improves vocal in the songs I liked. We went through many combinations of system set up. I ended up with Chord Electronics set up.
I still own them. Always struggle time to time, whether to sell them or not due to the number of pairs I own(out of a guilt). I cannot argue how many pairs of shoes my wife owns. I pair them with NAD M10 (version 1) for my bedroom since my wife likes the warm and well rounded sound, and 80% its white design aspect.
So what are the speakers that have impacted your life?

As a teenager in the 70’s a friend’s Dad had a pair of Klipch LaScalas...I was floored, or more like the old advertisement of the guy sitting in a big chair with sunglasses on, in front of a pair of speakers, and getting his long hair blown back. It took 25 years, but I did get a pair in 2001, and Khorns, Hersey II's, etc. Now being older, I've grown away from horns, and love the addition of my Monitor Audio Platinum PL300ii's. |
@tsacremento Wow, I think it sums up your audio life nicely. I envy you in a sense that you know what you want clearly. I like many different speakers depending on the music I like. I personally think that I have many years to get acquanted with different speakers and get to know my own taste little better. 104.2 speakers are fantastic. I don't know why, but even the design is somewhat striking to me.
@tylermunns Usher is a brand that gives sonic satisfaction to many audio listeners for sure. @tweak1 What do you mean by a needle firmly inserted into your arm? Are you on a medical condition? The way you describe your sonic satisfaction visualizes your audio space to me. Who can resist that tube light when you listen to a good music? Not sure about the knock off cable, but as long as it is safe and gives you what you need. Your set up sounds legit. I think you need to recommend me some of the music you listen to. I want that experience myself. |
