Speaker Fetish

I know, I know...The speakers I see pictured in the ads look like big pieces of candy. My head about exploded when I saw the lacquered Merlins. And when I read the reviews, forget about it. And those new Burmesters...i'll never have savings account.

My B&W's are my main squeeze, but I've been seeing a pair of Uno Avantgarde's on the side - can't help myself, all those curves just slay me.

I know what you mean. Just when you get your dynamic driver speakers sounding as good as they can you start to think....mmm...I wonder if I could get even better sound if I get ribbons or maybe even some electrostatics! It never ends!! If it's not the speakers, it's the pre amp, amp, ect.

It sure is fun to open up the boxes from UPS & FedX to try out the new "different" toys!!!

i have always wanted some expensive speaker or other. My budget is like 2k maybe 3k but I WANT some 10k+ types. So I stare at them longingly and never buy. Though I plan 1 more big speaker purchase before I croak! And if I save a few thou could actually buy some of the big boys toys.
I don't have that longing with other audio stuff.. maybe cars I wish I could buy next (Mazda's rotary, Nissan new Z, that wild Mitsu prototype... or a plain ol Corvette,Yellow please.)

Ahhhh I am not alone
