Not broke, we live paycheck to paycheck, each Time a check comes in, it's gone within 2 days, and waiting on the next one for other bills. And repeat weekly with this.
I haven't been saving this long, to come away empty handed, that's for sure.
I have stopped buying stuff before work, egg mcmuffins,pop, sunflower seeds, limited my copenhagen to only 1 can every two days, and saving every penny I can get my hands on for almost 4 years now, I'm almost there, almost there!!!!!! This has not been easy to limit myself to the joys of sunflower seeds and morning egg Mcmuffins at 445 am.
As far as speakers go, I haven't found a better pair or heard a better pair than the energy rc-70's.
I have heard klipsch- OUCH
B&w- ouch
Paradigm- upper range ones were nice, too much $
I missed the woot sale for the pinnacle ones, was angry, good speaker!
Heard the sonus faber, liked a lot, costs more than. The value of every possible physical possession I own, including current value of our cars.
PSb-too bright
Those modded Ed Frias BIC DVDs-64's I have are very good, he mods them to get rid of the GLARING tweeter, they sound a lot better not. Sure they only cost 200$ pair shipped, but sound great at low volumes.
The BIC DVDs-84's I have are so bright , they have been unused for quite some time, but resale value would be minimal for them, so there in our basement getting dust.
Anyway, price of speakers does not mean better quality, it only means you have a smaller wad of cash. I heard the energy's years ago, when they were a $2,500 pair of speakers, and I knew I could never afford them.
Once klipsch bought them, they became affordable, and I jumped on a pair, I had to, they're ( to me ) the best sounding speaker I have ever heard. They have a great gene pool.
Energy rc-70's- audible perfection, smooth, tight, very accurate, natural sounding, superb natural highs without being too bright, completely flat response, let through the actual sound of the sources I use. Sound great at low volume, or cranking humble pie, motorhead, Gary Moore, Sodom, mercyful fate, or killing joke.
I have yet to hear a better speaker. Everyone's ears are different, to me ,these are my go to , be all end all of speakers. My ears are sensitive to high freq, and truly hate, and get nervous or anxious feeling when treble is too much. The Energy's are just so perfect to my ears, and there is absolutely zero listening fatigue, no matter the volume I listen at. Even if it's a mega low quality napalm death demo tape from 1983, it sounds good to me.
