Feel free to talk me off the ledge


Just picked up my new Rogue RP-1 from a dealer. That coupled with my Rogue Atlas, then to my Klipsch Heresy IV's with an SVS PB2000 pro has me over the moon right now. But funny thing happened at the dealer.. I couldn't help myself, I listened to some other speakers. I'm an idiot, a glutton, a fool. As you can imagine I'm now about a third the way down the rabbit hole. 

At the dealer I was enchanted by a pair of Golden ear BRX monitors, they were so sweet, airy and open. Can't stop thinking about them.

Now I'm looking at:

Paradigm founder 80F

Tyler Time Keepers

The Golden Ear BRX

Vandersteen's among others..

Am I nuts? should I join a support group (other than the other one I'm already in) ?

Feedback always appreciated

lol!

Thank you everyone, I can always count on each of you to give me opinions and suggestions that make me seriously think and explore. I have resolved to go another direction than the Klipsch. As pretty as they are, and as dynamic as they are, I feel some fatigue while listening. I am going to do my legwork, take my time. ProAc, Volti, Golden Ear, Paradigm Founder, and Vandersteen are on my list, as are the Tyler Time Keepers. What I think did it for me was I swapped in my old TDL compact monitors. While not nearly as dynamic, and loud as the Heresy's, they were kinder and sweeter to my ears. Perhaps it's my age, but peeling back my earlobes isn't as fun as it was. 

Well everyone, I’ve ordered a pair of Tyler Timekeepers.

Very excited. I plan on doing a direct A/B comparison between the new Tyler’s and the Klipsch. I am really looking forward to it. 
man I love  this hobby! Let you all know how it plays out.

I auditioned the BRX further and they truly are a great stand mount, worth every penny and then some! I actually ended up with they Tyler Timekeepers and I’m glad I did. I was very intrigued by the small shop and it’s super helpful and gregarious owner Tyler. A true gentleman and stand up guy. I liked the story, the product in line, read everything I could, and sort of took a leap. First time I’ve ever bought speakers based on other peoples opinions  no regrets at all.
the day I unboxed them and set them up I was filled with trepidation, but was instantly rewarded by a sweet, balanced dynamic monitor with a nice wide and deep soundstage. The woodwork is absolutely gorgeous, in a way they sound like they look. I just received the dedicated stands last week and I do have to say Ty clearly took the same care and craftsmanship with the stands as he did the speakers. I posted a couple pictures on AG virtual systems, have a look.
