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?

For me it's my speakers - Sonus faber Olympica Nova Vs.  I love their sound and in my opinion look nice.

I couldn't believe how much better (sound quality wise) it is over everything that came before it.

My audio journey started 55 years ago, I was in the Army and bought my first system of separates.  Sansui AU555 amplifier, TU555 tuner, Sansui Sp100 speakers, Dual 1019 turntable and AKAI R2R with crossfield heads.  It began a lifelong journey and gave me immense pleasure as rock and roll was at its height of creativity in that period.

That said, many years later (40) I was in a place where I could acquire a new system and put a few $$ into it.  It was 2005 when I discovered Maggies.  After I heard them the first time I was hooked.  My wife was in total agreement and wven said she would be Ok if I wanted the big 20 version, but our room was too small for them and we bought the 3.6s we still have and love.  I think we joined a small cult - LOL, as there are a good number of Maggie fans out there.
