What set up do you have?
I really like the ascend stuff. Most of my audiophile friends can’t believe the bang for the buck. Tough purchase though - internet only. No easy way to demo unless you find someone in their forums willing to invite you over (which I’ve done).
I also really like the Rythmik subs, but only as a pair.
I hate my marantz. That’ll get replaced soon. I’ve got my eye on Anthem’s gear.
Amp is fine.
Prices taken from first hit I found. Total ~$10500
I'm not judging (I acutally somewhat envy you), I am just saying that $10000 is more than some leftover money.
Moved across country for a job. Super high market to one less crazy. Had to do stupid things to buy into the first market, recouped that money and reinvested it back into my retirement (where it belonged) when we moved back. Decided to have some fun as well. “Leftover” in terms of housing money is where that term slipped out from.
It was insane $ for me ;) But it was something I wanted for almost 30 years and couldn’t afford. It’s insane what you can spend on stereo equipment. My wife and I both drove cars until they broke, 14 and 15 years, both over 350k miles. Some people buy sports cars - we chose a stereo ;)
That would involve quite a bit of begging if I were to try that too.
Excellent and nice choices! I feel the same way about the Revel F208 speakers I bought a while back. Completely didn't need them since the Revel F36 were already pretty good but oh was the improvement noticeable. I honestly don't think I will replace them as long as the are working properly.
