Graham Audio Chartwell appears to be a family of speakers, including floorstanders and standmounters.
Some of them look pretty wild!

@TEAforONE how did you get in to Nola speakers? I've never heard of them before. Some of their designs look pretty cool though!

I read a review at one point,and thought they might be something I’d be interested in. Once intrigued,I read everything on the web about the Boxer 1’s,and then I spotted a pair of Boxer 2’s for a very reasonable price. That was about 5 years ago,and they have stayed in the rotation since.
I’m usually really interested in products that are off the beaten path. I have 3 pairs of speakers that I run, the Nola Boxer 2’s, Graham Chartwell LS3/5, and Hornshoppe Great Horned Heils. They all put a smile on my ears!See my profile for list of gear. -
Here’s a shot of the Nola Boxer 2’s. The towers behind them are Def Tech BP8’s used for home theater duty.See my profile for list of gear. -

"I’m usually really interested in products that are off the beaten path".
I know that statement, feelings, and actions very well. I am guilty too but never thought of a conscious way to describe it.
I noticed you didn't say "speakers". Does this nature of yours apply in a lot of areas of your life?
It has gotten me into some unusual situations from time-to-time.
Your statement is a great short description of the pursuit.
"Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters.
You can use it to build or to destroy. You just have to make the choice. Jim Butcher

That thought process does carry over to other purchases as well. For example,motorcycles. When I first got into street bikes,I was set on getting a Harley. As I started doing research,I found another US manufacturer at the time,Victory. Around these parts they were as rare as hens dentures! I fell in love with the looks. They had really good press once you got away from the first couple years. I pulled the trigger on a brand new 2005 Vegas 8 Ball. 42,000 miles later..... I also have a 2013 Victory Cross Country,(a bagger),and my wife has a 2004 Victory Kingpin.
I also have some other relatively obscure audio items as well. Monarchy Audio amps,Promitheus Audio passive pre,and some cables from boutique type manufacturers.See my profile for list of gear. -

Oh, so GF is now the backup? I really like the AT house sound. I guess my top ones are OC9/I & III, and AT33PTG. Also an AT33 Mono. Lots of vintage AT MM carts as well.
