This his happened to me a few different times in my life.
First when I was 16 I heard a pair of cerwin Vega vs 120', loved that slamming bass and in your face highs, paired the speakers with Nad 2200 amp. It's funny how a decent amp will take a mediocre set of speakers bloom to a certain degree.
As an adult I fell in love with a pair of mirage m1's. Paired with a big classe amp, proceed pre amp and nice cables, I loved the big detailed sound and the amazing sound stage.
Now I realize the mirages, although exciting and very fun to listen to, are not the last word in high end.
The speakers I most recently had to have was a pair of Sonus Faber Lillium. While I don't have 70,000 to buy them. Maybe some day I'll get a gently used pair.
Each pair I listed, I felt like I couldn't live without one time or another.
