Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!


Yes indeed.  Several years ago, the absolutely incredible Revel Salon 2 speakers finally took me off the speaker merry-go-round.  I do believe that I'll be taking my Revel Salon 2 speakers to the grave with me.  What's your end-game speakers?

We cannot know which could be our end game speakers BEFORE embedding them the right way in our SPECIFIC electrical grid/house/room/system...

But most people anyway judge by price tag more than by acoustics ...

For sure my Tannoy dual concentric were way higher end than my actual small active low cost speakers and the Magnepan of some friend too are more high end ...

But guess why i prefer my actual low cost active speakers ?

I embed them well acoustically , mechanically and electrically ...It was not the case with the magnepan nor with my Tannoy better speakers

My actual low cost speakers  punch over their cost/design level by the modifications i put in place for sure ...

Then conclusion :

Give me any basic good speakers and nevermind his price i will make them play at their optimal and then i will be happy ... It is much less about money and taste and much more about acoustics basic  and embeddings control ......

My experience and my 2 cents ...

My end game could be any basically well designed speakers at almost any price ...

 
 

 

 

Over the years, my speaker "Revolving-door" was a learning process for me, experimenting with different speakers and different types of speakers, making new discoveries, and having lots of fun in the process. However, all that speaker experimentation, as someone has already mentioned, started to take a toll on my finances. So, after finally figuring out exactly what type of speakers suited my listening tastes the most, I began to focus in on finding that special pair of speakers that could keep me satisfied for the long term, and the Revel Salon 2 speakers checked all the boxes for me. And now, my ears, and my wallet thank me.

They are nice for Mid fi Audiophile speakers 

speakers like MBL 101 Omni directional speakers are true bend game speakers 

if you have the $$ money .  There is a Big difference as to a True Reference Loudspeaker ,vs one you can afford that sounds good to match your financial budget.

Depends what you mean by "endgame".  I have had my Tidal Contriva Diacera's for about a decade now, and will never get rid of them.  At some point I might buy another pair of speakers with different driver technology to also have in the audio room just for a change of pace (e.g., a top of the line planar, MBL 101)
