Nah!!! Don’t listen to anybody else. Just go buy those speakers.
There. Off the ledge.
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

All my audio gear is squished into a 13’ x 13’ home office. Yet still I manage to fit 10 lbs of crap in a 5 pound bag. It’s a 2.1 system and has been through at least 6 previous pairs of 2-ways (that go on the desktop for nearfield listening). 3-4 of those were powered. Then I scored a reburbed, great-condition vintage pair of KEF 103.2s (8" woofer + silk dome tweeter). Like the other speakers that really work here, this is a sealed/acoustic suspension design. I’m in love with this sound, which got even better when I put a DDC in line before the DAC. But sitting over against the side wall is my "other fantasy speakers," the ATC SCM12 Pro (also sealed, but w/6" woofer). They’re so amazing that I can’t bring myself to sell them. So I’ll swap them in and out of the desktop system from time to time to drive myself crazy. Net/net: I’m a fan of loudspeaker polygamy. It’s a victimless crime, unless you consider my wallet a victim... |
Congratulations, You may find that you like both speakers for different reasons, as the two are both great speakers but each of a different character. Maybe over time you could build separate systems around each - complementing and bringing out the best of both. I still have an older pair of PSB Stratus Gold i, that I set up in my AV room and still love for playing my old 80s rock and big band. They do so many things so well, I doubt that I’ll ever get rid of them. Most often I’m in the mood for something more subtle and laid back (light jazz, light-rock, Celtic, old country, old crooners, etc) and spend evening hours in my main audio room, relaxing to the Maggies and tubes. Enjoy the music and the journey.....Jim

@tim_p ....someone always does, eventually... ;)
It's not a rabbit hole, which have limits and an end....it's a black hole, which puts you into Punky's Dilemma...kinda...
