I have multiple bookshelves/monitors and I will struggle to let any of them go when the time comes. I have a rather small listening area so that’s why I gravitated to this size speaker. Then obsession kicked in and now I have 6 sets of bookshelves/monitors. I started with the Graham LS6’s about 8yrs ago. Love the midrange these give you, and plenty of punch in the bass for the listening area I have. They do really need abit more power to drive properly so I usually always have them hooked up to my G.A.S equipment, or a Classe’ CAP151. I picked up a beautiful pair of Omega Sam’s a year or so later for the Will Vincent Baldwin I had as they are more efficient. The Sam’s have the beautiful Alnico midrange and again for the space I have the bass is sufficient, a bit more room and they might be best with a sub. I bought a pair of Audel Magika mk2 from direct from Walter. I had wanted a pair of transmission line speakers for awhile. The build is unique and the drivers are tonally amazing in this design. I can use them with tube gear or solid state and be amazed every time. I jumped on a pair of Trenner & Freidl StoneArts knowing they would not last long, and being only 06 in a limited batch of only 20 made I just wasn’t going to pass them up. Are they amazing? Absof@$?inglutly! I have heard them with equipment I will never be able to own. They disappear, and just deliver sound that should not be possible from a cabinet this size. They will be the last to go! And just this year I got great deals on 2 other sets that as you can see I didn’t need, but life is short and music lasts forever. I got a fantastic pair of High Moon Yakisugi’s, if you have never heard of them check them out! These are the burnt sinker cypress builds, small outfit in Austin(husband/wife) These are fun to just look at and admire the craftsmanship, the listening experience is maybe one of the most non fatiguing, musical and easy to listen to. I also bought a pair of Black Ocean Nick Nack Masters, beautiful little speakers that are solid in their build. They can be used in any system and will floor you with their detail! And I might as well mention another pair, although not bookshelves, they don’t take up any more room than stands and a bookshelf. Probably the most beautifully crafted of all my speakers, a design that had its day in the sun years ago, and IMO are still a wonderful pair to sit and spend time with. The Meadowlark Kestrel 2, the build, finish on these could not be done today for the same amount, even factoring in inflation. Pat really pulled off an amazing feat with this cabinet finish! They are a transmission line design and although not a big speaker they give the listener plenty of bass response if in a small listening area. The angle give the listener phase alignment and these speakers image amazingly well. So there you go, from my little crazy space that turned into my own private audio store. One does not have to get this obsessed in this hobby, at some point I will have to start letting some go, but not just yet:) I really hope everything does not end up in a yard sale! I think that’s every audio nuts greatest fear! Just find a speaker you can live with for years, something that has a sound you can really settle in with and a look that is pleasing to the eye. Now I just need the grandsons to get to the age that they can appreciate music through an audio system, and they might get some great speakers. And I won’t have to worry about them ending up in a yard sale!
