For now I am content. I’m 23, and will be going to grad school next year. I still want to travel and accomplish other goals in life. My humble Totem Arro speakers in my apartment dwelling satisfy all my inner urges for now. It allows me to focus and expand my knowledge of music—which in return allows me to expand my software collection. In five years time when I do have a career and the space, I will upgrade. For now I am in love with my system. Even when the time comes to upgrade, my Arro speakers will be put in a library or office setting.
Is it really the system?
It’s been going on for years now. One of these, two of those, another yadayada… and I’m done. But then you find out you aren’t quite done after all.
Not yet. Not quite…
Is it a slippery sound you chase? A finite exceptional tonality which continues to elude? Is your happiness continually percieved to be in a thing still on the horizon, and not yet in the nest?
Is there indeed a light at the end of the tunnel, or is it a train?
Why keep pressing onward if by so many accounts and your own, the current system’s presentation is great now?
Or in other words perhaps, Enthusiast, Audiophile, or Gear hound? Just where do you hang your hat?
Or have you indeed hung it up for good?
