When I want to upgrade a component and want to find out more information, I visit audio shops and shows. Was at AXPONA 2 times besides certain high end shops.
Here is the reason I do this:
I visited a dealership when I was new to the hobby and there was this older gentleman there. I told him by budget for the speakers. He asked me to come in and listen to a system that consisted of Sonus Faber Stradivari with Nagra Amps and sources. I am guessing the entire setup was $75k. Seeing the surprise on my face he said that he is NOT expecting me to buy anything in that room. But when you listen to this setup and then go and listen to the speakers in your budget, it will (kind of) give you and idea of which of the speakers you feel compromises the least from what I heard in that $$$$ system.
“The world is full of compromise and infinite red tape. But the music’s got the magic, it’s your one chance for escape.”
