Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

My latest & best are the Infinity Beta's. You can build a great system around these! Any shortcomings are far overshadowed by their strengths(including bass below 30hz). I don't ever seem my self selling them! Just ordered a new DAC from PS Audio and a ARC LS25 MkII preamp, along with the newer Epsilon Crossover/Controller for the Betas. Can't wait to hear the "new" system once it's in place.

ive had ref 3a decapo, an j lx, wilson cubs.

the amphion one 18 will be my speaker for years to come.

My top three are as follows:

1. Stradivari Homage by Sonus Faber
2. Harbeth 40.1
3. Revel Salon2

Radio Shack jump on them for life!!

"For life" is a heavy proposition. Currently I very much enjoy Audiokinesis Dream Makers (v2) and LCS effect speakers. They combine an electrostat-like presence with the push of dynamic speakers. Formerly I had Dynaudio Consequence mk2 but never really became friends with them. They needed even more power than my Krell FPB600 could give. The Audiokinesis system is well matched to my Atma-sphere Ma-1 OTL monoblocs, and the matching is very important. There are troubles with an all-tube system (noise, maintenance etc) but I don't think I will go back to "hifi" speakers and s-state amps.
