Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I'm thinking these new GMA Calypso's will be around long after i'm gone. My wife made the comment the other day "Well, i'll never have to purchase speakers again as long as I live" I'm not one to argue with the little woman. Anybody else breaking in a pair of these?

If you are one of the lucky guys to have 1 of the 20 pairs in the world, dont sell them cause chances are youll never find one again.

Von Schweikert VR-8. At 1000lbs for the pair this figures in there as well as bringing the concert home.

I just acquired a Golden Tube Audio MK-II integrated amp. I too have had my Celestion speakers forever. Since this is my first tube amp, does anyone have any experience with Celestion speakers and tube amps of 50 watts? I was thinking of selling my Celestions for a newer set of more effiecent speakers.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how difficult a load the celestions put on a tube amp.

Also any recomendations for a new set of monitor speakers under $1000?

I own ADS 1290 since 1988,sound execellent,and still going strong.
