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

s2000CR,

Budget Marantz 18 in 1967?  It cost a whole month of post-doc stipend.  For years, that 18, an AR turntable with Shure V15, and a pair of AR3a speakers served as my audio setup, and I was proud of it.  Those units are sitting in my closet.

I can't say for sure that I will NEVER change my speakers but I am very happy with my system. I am running Mirage M1s with a Son of Ampzilla 2 and a Lexicon MC8 in bypass mode as a preamp. Using a Yaqin SD30A tube CD player. The SD30 and the M1s are responsive down to 20Hz so the bass is really sweet without any blemishes. The M1s have had the tweeters rebuilt by a fellow in Canada and are like new, new ferrofluid ,everything. These speakers shine with whatever I send them, prog, fusion, bluegrass, classical, it just doesn't seem to matter. My wife isn't a huge fan, she thinks they are too big, I told her our living room is just too small. So now I get to put an addition on the house.

Ive had my Dynaudio Contour 3.0’s for going on 14 years ....they are still as solid and even more beautiful then the day they arrived at my door. I am so glad I purchased these (after I listened to a pair of Totem Sig's, they use drivers from Dynaudio, I fell in love with the 3" voice coils, such a sweet mid range) because it seems to me after all this time that I got a hell of a deal compared to what the choices and prices are today. I have owned the Mirage M'3 with a McIntosh MC300 and loved those, wish I never sold them (Mirage-oliths are not wife friendly...go figure). (my brother owned M1's with McIntosh 600watt per channel amp with solid state Mac preamp ....very very nice) Also, I am glad to see Dyn re introduce the Contour line, but I’m not even thinking of upgrading. (speakers at least) ...

The Bozak Concert Grands are very special.  My brother had a pair...really did justice to classical music.  Still have a pair of Bozak B-313's gathering dust!  Maybe someday I will resurrect them:)

Several times.
