Journey ending speakers

Listening to to my  stereo last night thinking about what upgrade I may do in the future. May upgrade my CD player or change phono cart or a new arm? But one of the things I will never change is my speakers. My journey has ended with the speakers I have now. Are you like me and have your forever speakers? Oh mine are a set of 30 year old 4 way JBL  Studio Monitors 4345s.

@inna Deja Vu Audio makes amazing custom speakers, they source vintage drivers for them and they are amazing if you have a large room.

There is only one journey ending speaker, and I own it. Get your own. ;)

Then again, when I sell mine, you can have a journey ending speaker, too!

I absolutely love my McIntosh XRT28's. 6'5" tall with a small footprint, creating a gorgeous wall of sound. They're definitely going to the grave with me. Or I'll be buried inside of them!

The speaker bar has moved I'm afraid, the new B & W 800 D3 is the most realistic sounding speaker I have heard to date, after auditioning for the last 18 months. They unfortunately do need a minimum of 200 hours to fully come on song, so a run in dealer demo pair to audition is a must. The rest of the manufacturers will now have to play catch up to match them.

the good news is pricing is in reasonable territory, compared to their peers, looks are an acquired taste, they however grow on you - especially the piano black finish.

Absolutely the last speaker I will purchase, and enjoying being closer to the musical event, than ever before, magnificent ....... !
