The latest flavour of the month speaker

It's not an origonal observation, but why do we get the sudden flurries of posts and threads on a new speaker, or anything in fact? Following on from that, are you one of the sheep, or lone wolves shouting Bah humbug, my 30 year old Harbeth speakers are better than any new kit?

Following on from the first flurry, is the later question, Why are so many of this speaker up for sale on the Gon? That is one of the sheep worrying they have been too gullible. I am thinking here of Acoustic Zen speakers, now I use them, so I am plainly one of the sheep.

I have bought at least 2 popular Gon products, the Zen speakers and the TW Accustic Raven one turntable and am very happy with both, so I am not sure there is any harm in being swepped up by other members enthusiasm. The problem comes in answer to the question, why do they all go up for sale? Presumably people have taken up the next best thing ever.

So are you a sheep or a wolf? Be honest now

Are jl audio subs a candidate for the flavor? there is nearly always a plethora of them for sale. They are touted as the best so why are they being sold so soon after purchase?
On the other hand they maybe to good and the neighbors in the next city are complaining.

There is something very appealing and cost effective about easily plopping out a cone and plopping in a replacement, if and when the time arrives, or even if one wants to upgrade the driver. The best part about owning these 'lifers' is it is very DIY friendly even for the ham fisted!. It is literally a speaker for life.
Seems very sensible to me. Wonder If B&W would ever follow suit?
