Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I'm another person taken with the Apogee Stages. I've built my system around them and they keep doing it for me. I too am tri-amping them. While other components come and go, the Stages stay. The only other component that has hung around longer is my Reference Line pre-amp. However, there IS that pair of EPI 100s I've had languishing in the basement since college.....

Master designs which have or will stand the test of time.

We had a set of Magnepan Tympani I-D's for about twenty years. Finally, decided to look around. After nine months and many auditions later bought a pair of Wisdom Audio M-75's. The factory calls them an "heirloom product". I think they're right. My daughter will eventually inherit them. I will never sell them.

I will make this brief! After owning two excellent speaker systems previously--Acoustat 2+2S and Dunlavy SC-IV, I bought the Revel Studio. For me, at least, the Studios are the ones, period.

Perhaps I am fortunate having the combination of electronics and cables I do, but the audio experience one has in my media room, listening through the Revel Studios, is not only utterly captivating, it is addictive!

I cannot tell you to buy them, but I do urge you to give them a challenging listen.

Beowulf - The idea of a monopolar line-source (such as the Wisdom M-75's) fascinates me. Would you address a post to describing the differences in room interaction and placement requirements for this design vs. your old dipolar Maggies? How do these differences affect the way one listens to these speakers as opposed to dipoles or conventional boxes? Thanks for your thoughts.
