In Reply to: Why I'm not an audiophile posted by shamburg on May 12, 2021 at 12:32:59:
well Shamburg, you can have both if you take your time, ask questions here and there, and go for long time known to be excellent and beautiful components. That way you won't chase endless updates and improvements.
I've been living with Quad ESL 57's for many years and have no regrets, and contentedness like you wouldn't believe, including occasional tears on the beauteous thing.
Good luck on the search if you choose to.
