Sold my Mission 794s last Autumn because there was just something I didn't like about the sound, and been using a set of borrowed MS 10i's ever since, with the intention of replacing them.
Theoretically the sale should have given me £250 towards a new set of speakers. I sold an old camera recently for a further £137.00. So that should have bumped my total to £387. But somehow I never see the money. Household bills and other expenditure just eats it away, like the £500 it cost me to get the daily car through its MOT (four new tyres and a n/s balljoint).
Think I've just resigned myself to the fact that there's always going to be something sapping my so-called speaker-money. I'm just never ever going to be able to buy a pair I'm happy with.
So might as well jack it in.
Think first to go will be the Marantz amp & CD player followed by the Cyrus and PSX, then the rest over a period of weeks. Will keep the Thorens for sentimentality reasons, but that will be it. First time in 35 years I will be officially HiFi-less.
Will still be able to stream my NAS to my computer, so not all is lost.
Humbug.
