HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?


I want to know for those who have arrived got their best system together. What is the story behind how you ended up with your gear and will you be happy for a long time with it.

@calvinj "They just kept performing"

 

If you like them and they do what you need, that’s far ahead of many others who keep trying and trying different speakers looking for something more that may or may not exist. Finding something you really like is a great achievement in itself.

For me, I sort of prefer to narrow down to 1-2 speakers I like [build or buy], and then rotate different sources, preamps, amps, tubes, cables and fine tune from here. Seems easier and more effective to evaluate components if you are not constantly rotating to different speakers in/out of the mix. Or, that’s how I like to approach it, fwiw.

@decooney the audio gods smiled on me. Me and Hans were looking for the same kind of sound. He recognized it early and we chased and improved. Chased and improved. When we go to shows people ask me about other stuff I heard that I liked and I tell them I’m enjoying our stuff so much I rarely leave the room. 

Hooked up with Bill over at Legacy Audio and shelled out 50 grand. Of course, like many I spend 50 years.. starting with Webcor, Sony, Hafler, Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, Nakamichi, BIC, B&O, Oppo, ATI, Outlaw, PSA, Klipsch, Infinity, Polk, Bose, Miller Kreisel, Ascend Acoustics and FINALLY, Legacy
I bet I could have bought a nice house with all the money I’ve spent on this hobby.

@nitrobob i hear you my brother.  I know I’m in a good place because I no longer equipment search. That’s a sign. When you music search only you are in a great place.  I’m music searching only.
