Journey ending speakers

Focal 936’s are doing it for me. They take advantage of better gear very nicely. I don’t see them going anywhere anytime soon unless some kind soul throws a fair of Sopra No.2’s at me.

I'm gonna step up here and defend technology. A lot can be done with paper, but the best of paper involves computer modeling. I do think there are better materials than paper. Designing a speaker using the latest design tools most certainly makes a difference. Materials and R&D have definitely produced more flatly responding speakers. Nobody walks into a store and is asked if they prefer east coast, west coast, or British sound anymore. The definition of quality sound has certainly narrowed and become more nuanced.
