This line reminded me of me in an ice cream parlor when I was 10. I understand what you mean but satisfaction is a better flavor than curiosity IMO

Some audiophiles derive satisfaction precisely from hearing music from multiple speakers / amps if they can afford them.This line reminded me of me in an ice cream parlor when I was 10. I understand what you mean but satisfaction is a better flavor than curiosity IMO
Three out of 4 of his speakers are prestigious British brands and therefore his take on them is especially valuable.

He mentioned upgrading, so maybe he was not satisfied with them. If curiosity is his satisfaction then he has already reached the goal.
It doesn't really matter if they are "prestigious" or not, I'd think anyone interested in those speakers might be curious about his views if they were combing for opinions. They could be local made as well, it doesn't really matter as long as one enjoys the sound.
How on earth do you assume he has reached the goal ? Has he mentioned anywhere that 4 speakers is the max he will experiment with ? If he pleases he can have 4 more pairs , ain’t so ?
Secondly , yes it matters that they are ‘prestigious’ brands.

I clearly state if curiosity is his satisfaction he has reached the goal, this does not mean he should stop buying speakers rather that he should continue to do so as that is his satisfaction, in case you did not understand.
No it doesn't.
In case you do not understand, you are now being contrarian just for the sake of it , without meaning or purpose. In other words - you are being a troll.
Hey @Analogous
Heard a lot about your set up from various set up. Would love to give them a listen. Really kind of you to invite. I’ll pm you my number. We can definitely catch up.
Cheers!

Paul Wilson’s philosophical take on the afflictions of audio enthusiasts makes for some interesting reading…

@Prodigy, happy to call and talk with you, soon. But you must know I have only had them for a few months. There are veterans on the forum who have been Harbeth owners for many years. You could start a thread with your question to get the benefit of their experience and knowledge?
How Long Should You Keep Your Audio System?

Anyone have any 1st hand experience with the R100’s ? Hopefully tomorrow will be getting mine but anything that anybody can share will help.
Will be getting the Bromo too hopefully delivered tomorrow or max may be the day after. Delhivery Courrier services are not so great in my location. Though it’s reached Bangalore yesterday it’s yet to ring my door bells

After serious thinking and all the research the 2 big boys have landed. Connected everything and now giving them a listen. Spent about an hour on both. Almost same tracks repeated. Initial impressions: Just Wow!
Especially the R100 is a tiny beast. Don’t get fooled by its size and Bromo - It’s a monster.

You are right; it would be cheaper and more logical too.I did not buy them all at the same time. Got a pair, then wondered how this other one would be…so on. At some point they will appear in the classifieds section or OLX… for the moment it’s like…having a harem? This line reminded me of me...

A trip home is warranted. I am curious to hear Bromo with your Pass amp.

The amp is even more monstrous
Very true. When @Prodigy had come over to listen to the KEF R300, he had lugged the amp.The amp is even more monstrous
Took one look at it and was scared to even attempt lifting it. It's one of those "need a dolly to move" amps.
Sounded good in my rig though. We played it for about 45 - 60 mins; didn't heat up much.
To be fair, it was sitting in the open with a ceiling fan right above it.
Cheers,
Raghu
