My new speakers

parkergetdean,

Thanks so much for your input. I retired from the Air Force after 28 years and in a year or two I’ll retire from teaching. My approach to system building has always been to upgrade what I could afford, with the ultimate goal of getting my last speakers. So my first big upgrade was getting Jeff Rowland 735 mono-amps, then dual REL subwoofers, then I  got the Antipodes Oladra music server, and finally speakers. I had my previous speakers for 10 years. I’ve been blessed in so many ways, including having a system that brings my wife and I so much joy. I know when enough is enough and my system is enough. I’ll still enjoy the hobby, but it doesn’t mean I have to continuously want something better. 

@ricred1 stated, "I know when enough is enough, and my system is enough. I’ll still enjoy the hobby, but it doesn’t mean I have to continuously want something better" 

Finding such a mindset is a real blessing, to be free from the torment of not being satisfied with the musical encounters available from the choices made. I know this place and fully get the alternative mindset. I know which I am to remain embracing, and that is sharing similar thoughts aligned with ricred1. 

I say this after being loyal to one speaker type for nearly 30 years, and early in 2026 commenced using a new Speaker, which is a current design for a Speaker. 

I do not need any betterment to the sound produced from a Speaker for the rest of my listening years. 

Friends still use the superseded Speaker, so a reacquaintance is easily achieved.,   

it looks like you have a fantastic room and system @ricred1 !

Thanks. I'm 60 years young. I've been building my system since I was 20 years old.
