High end loudspeakers for music/home theatre.
Turns out, speaker tech evolves pretty slowly. I bought a pretty high end set 15 years ago and it’s still miles ahead of most of what’s currently on the market. I don’t expect to change them for another 30 years.
The brand I bought is Monitor Audio. https://www.monitoraudio.com/ https://www.monitoraudio.com/
- bob1029 4y agoLoudspeakers are one thing that do seem to last forever if you take care of them. I still have my Polk RTI12s from when I got them on employee discount while working at Circuit City. I had to epoxy the bass reflex port back together on one of them, but otherwise they can still take a ton of power and light up an auditorium. My top vendors right now would be Emotiva (high-end amps) & Monoprice (gigantic, heavy, cheap loudspeakers).
- jayknight 4y agoI found a pair of decent 20-year-old bookshelf speakers at Goodwill for $15, and got a tiny $30 amplifier to drive then and my humble little home theater setup is way better now.
- andytruett 4y agoCan you share what amp you got?
- lampington 4y ago+1 to that. I picked up a pair of Castle Howard S2s (lovely floor-standing speakers from the 90s) for a few hundred on eBay ten years ago. They're my forever speakers unless I add at least another comma to my net worth.
