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

Wow fell in love with Meridian have home theater in my basement all DSP speakers and bass. Simple love it. Would not change it just love the way it sounds(goosebumps) brings my music to life. Allows bass to live inside me. In living room over the last year I have fallen in love with the Theta 3HD which I purchased last year.Which brings me to the my newest love the B&W HTM1D center 802D fronts and 803D rears my God I will not change any speaker for these that I have the only thing I am upgrading is the Theta 3HD to the Theta 4(Thanks Craig @ TheaterMax)So I have chasing this sound that I have since I went to the movie theater to see Hard Days Night and heard If I Fell all over the movie theater. Now I have that sound. Peaceful.

The venerable AR turntable was the understated bargain of the 20th century. Mine had an Empire 999E cartridge. I toyed with the idea of adding a Rabco SLT, but life got in the way. Your V15 was another hallmark.
Good stuff.

Sound Labs. Maybe my vintage pair won’t last as long as something newer and the newer ones will be compatible with lower powered amps, but I sonically, I can’t ask for anything more. They leave all my prior speakers and most others I have heard in the dust and it usually isn’t that close. I could upgrade all other components many times over and I don’t think the Sound Labs would ever be a weak link.
I’ve had multiple visitors who own more expensive speakers leave with jaws agape and more than one who said, "I’ve got to figure out how to get some Sound Labs." Cheers,

Unless I move into a smaller room, I will keep my Monitor Audio PL500 II's. Not perfect, but boy do I enjoy them!

Yes, but it was a big DIY hornspeaker and that is the last thing I'll ever need. I have compared Gryphon Tridient II  to my horns, at The Gryphon sound like a small toy box. Even the mighty Beolab 90, falls short compared to 110db/w horns 😉
