That wallace is a mighty fine philosphy . I am amazed at the stories of speakers lost and regretted . Before my speaker sabbatical to live the life of a rock star , I had a fair few , odd shape tannoys , mission 753 , heybrook , AR 8 from laskeys for university and dozens from a local second hand shop, I also bought a nva amp from there . From memory I dont recall being happy with any of the speakers . Between 97 and 2009ish , I lived the life of a rock star instead of listening to rock and did not own a pair of speakers , i put my pt in box and sold everything else
Then in 2010, i decided I would build my own and was on a steep learning curve , but i could'nt get any of the drivers I purchased to sound good with a x-over . so searching the net in early 2011 I came across H/S and the rest is history , in my first or second post the doc advised me to wire the twin bass drivers in series and forsake the x-over and just a cap and resistor on the tweeter . Hey presto music . So began the journey that resulted in my current speaker [ modiifed JPw AP2 with NVA bass drivers ] and I can not see me changing these unless or until we build an extension and enlarge the room .
given the testimony of so many , there is awful lot of shit out there , so why change what you are happy with .
