Speakers to hang on to for LIFE


After 9 years with my Proac Response 3s, I recently decided to change speakers. As you can tell, I'm not an upgrade fever patient. I want something I can live with for years & I think the best advice I'm gonna get will be from those who have & are still living with their speakers for an extended period of time. Please tell me why too. Thanks.Bob.

Although I've only had them a little over a year, the Vandersteen 5s will be my LAST speaker. Cheers. Craig
Köchel K300 horns for me. They effortlessly pass through whatever they are fed. They suit my tastes perfectly and provide a stable base to build upon. Every change to my system is immediately discernable. Occasionally an upgrade brings about the need to address another area due to the sensitivity and transparency. A good problem to have though, in my opinion. I couldn't be happier with their performance.
I will never ever, ever get rid of my Dahlquist 20i speakers. I have heard many other speaker setups, some of them costing as much as $100,000, and am still satisfied with these speakers. I'm sure there are speakers out there that have better this or that than the Dahlquists, but as a whole, I am completely satisfied with them. Even if I get rich, (not if, but when)I will still keep them.
Apogee Scintilla. The 1 0hm one. If you haven't heard one properly powered, and the bet's on you haven't, you will never know perfection.
Oris 150 horn speakers you can buy now and keep upgrading drivers and such for probley decades,Allways seems to be new full range drivers coming out ,lots of choices ,plus you can upgrade or repair them yourself ,no need to worry about manufacter suport ,If the finish gets dinged up just repaint .I dont think any other speaker system can compare with the sound and value of an oris horn ,plus you get to build them yourself [easy to do].Way better than martin logans or avalons or avantgarde etc .trio
