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.

@bill_peloquin, let me add a caveat to your, "never sell anything". Never sell anything to buy something new, always keep the item your replacing and work it back into the system at different points until you are satisfied with the new piece and even then hold onto it a little longer. Enjoy the music

 "Never Sell Anything"

As long as you have the extra storage space and you don't get "the look" from the boss.

Remedy for audio gear sell regret-go out and buy something COMPLETELY different and exciting.

Don't worry about looks (assuming that is a possibility for you, I know some people can't get past looks) and just think about how they sound.  I don't think it is generally possible to have speakers too big for a room.

With big sensitive speakers you need an amp that does a good job at very low power.   This often points to an SET but there are good ss amps too.
