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

While I design many models of loudspeaker. I don't obsolete any models I build ea loudspeaker to last decades of use not to be replaced by better models. We build short model runs with exotic parts ea a work of loudspeaker art. We build designs right from the start so owner never feels left out holding dated kit because a new version is available. When I was a check book audiophile I suffered with this you buy v2 next thing you know v3s out and your left holding yesterdays bread. Low resale, guys online and in print saying how all the improvements have taken the v3 to a whole other level over v2. What a crock but we as audiophiles and comsumers fall for this since the 1950s
