Blue Shadow
Waiting for Vintage Gear from this century
...In their 'high end' room. This had to be a 25x30 space with special walls and ceiling (at least 12' high) which sounded very quiet as soon as I walked in. Situated in the center of the room were a pair of Magico Q7's. Powering them were mono Spectral amps connected with speaker cable worth more than my whole system.
They are here for us - to let us hear what is possible, to educate us on the best path forward, and to eventually help us cash in that unexpected stock IPO, forgotten great aunt's inheritance, or that rainy day fund you've been building forever.
Once my kids are through college, if there's anything left...I know where I am going.....

Other than the JBLs what is your main rig? Did you find the quality of the server music up to the standards of records, if you use such a thing?
Did the Q7s require a room that large? Large rooms seem to be one of the reasons for such large TOTL speakers today. Overture a dealer near me in Tax Free DE, also sets up the main room with Spectral gear. The speaker cables have boxes in them bigger than many amplifiers no wonder they cost as much as a house.
Yes, there are here to help us spend stock IPO money, inheritance money and a forever savings account because some of the rooms don't have anything in them that can be purchased for the spending money left from a regular paycheck supplying a normal family. Fortunately, there are more rooms in these stores with gear that can be purchased with a reasonable budget. Not ak cheap but reasonable for today, times have changed the price of a candy bar isn't a nickel, anymore
