The plague for audiophiles is so much of this gear is so transparent and high resolution, it exposes a lot of our recordings into a listening experience that is not as we would like. Probably what, 75% to 85% of recordings are not "audiophile". So that leaves us small percentage of stuff that truly sounds out this world on our systems. Of course depending on genre, some people will have a lot more well recorded material. Anyway, Doyle3433, make sure when you are demoing stuff it is with music you love even though it may be an average recording. If the system or speaker you are demoing sounds great on that, then you may have something. Plus, if you can find speakers that you can listen to for a long time without fatigue and you have a hard time pulling yourself away from, then you found the right fit.
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
