Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.

Hi Audiogoners have you you ever had a local dealer that is so pashonet about audio. That they let you bring in your system for fun and try a $10 000speakers. And you have been to every other local dealers shows and listened to $400 000 and above systems. And then tried a pair of speakers and had so much synergy with your budget system and said omg. This blows all other systems I heard for a fraction of the cost of most others? And have been always happy with that pair of speakers and your system for the rest of your life?

Please share your experience"

I plan to use Sonics by Joachim Gerhard Allegras indefinitely. Yet, you never know.

The search is part of the process.  Finding something that covers the bases you need, another part of the process.  Yet I am a creator, an engineer, I need a tool that is accurate, enjoyable and effective. 

Audiophiles are doing their creating with the system itself, so that's more ongoing I would think.

I gave up on the Wilson line because of their inherently flawed design of group delay and necessary on Axis listening requirements!  Any speaker that needs to be aimed at your head like a laser has never sounded musical to me.  Dynamics are restricted as compared to a good speaker with great off axis response.

Yes!!! I had that experience back in1967, when a dealer A/B’d my budget Marantz Model 18 receiver between my AR 2a’s and a pair of Klipschorns. WOW!! I was leveled in more ways than anyone could imagine. I saved my lunch money and 17 years later bought a pair of horns.

My Bozak Concert Grands  biamped and mod will be with me til I die. It's in my DNA. I think I will say the same about my JBL 4345 I get in about a week. East coast sound on one side of the room and west coast on the other. Something about moving a lot of air and feeling the music I enjoy.
