End Game Speaker Quest - The Final Chapter

How will this work? Is it a quick change or do you have to physically remove part of the speaker and replace it with the other part I E is the tweeter/ coax section modular?

No physical change at all, drivers coexist next to each other (in such a way no acoustic impact of course), switched with the push of a button.

First of all, that sounds awesome.

That totally appeals to my own “want to have it all” part of my brain.

I ran into a little problem with that when I wanted to keep both my Benchmark and CJ tube preamp in my system. I was able to run my CJ through one of the benchmark inputs, which allowed me to sort of have my cake and eat it too. It was so convenient that with the press of a button on my remote control I could be listening with the benchmark preamp or my CJ preamp.

The convenience of that has been awesome.
But it also made switching between each preamp so easy, I could start to distract myself “ I wonder how this sounds on the CJ!…click…”

So in the end, I think I’m actually going to go back to just using separate cables for each preamp to my amplifier. That way if I want to switch between preamps, it will involve switching the cables. So I will be more inclined to just stick with one preamp for a while in the system, without having the itchy fingers for the remote button.

However, in your case, especially since it seems one version would suit Home Theatre and another music, perhaps that’s the decision-maker and you won’t have the same “ can’t decide” issue that I did.
