I always knew the Totem Arros wouuld find their way back into my system. And as of this morning (after nearly five years), that has finally come to pass. Funny hobby, this one.

Anyone else ever find themselves eventually returning to an old flame in their audio journey? I know Sean (Zero) recently posted a similar experience... odd he should be the one that pointed me in the direction of the Arros all those years ago.
I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Do you appreciate them differently now, after spending time with other gear?

    I'll have to get back with you on that one. A lot has changed in their absence and I'm still awaiting their arrival at my doorstep. But they're mine again, so all is good in Whoville.

    Or..., audio that never left to begin with. I still have my 8t's and they still amaze me at times, guess that's why I still have them...
