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.

THE NEW PARADIGM PRESTIGE 75 F
Just broken in, sound fit and finish for the price can not go wrong. Very tough to reach this speakers limitations , The size will fool you , its very dynamic and power full loads of detail, And the Piano Black is beautiful the cherry is not worth the upcharge. Give a listen .
After 7 different speakers in the last 10 years, and the last 3 months with Triton Ones, I do believe I have found my speakers for life. There is nothing they cannot do. Genre, volume, whatever. If you don't believe me, c'mon over.
ADS L300c Aluminum minis. They were $300 per pair in 1977 and followed me to school on the East Coast. They now serve duty in the garage wired to a NAD receiver and Squeezebox Duet. They are a joy.
I'm disappointed there hasn't been more ink spilled over JM Reynauds. I've had a pair of Arpeggiones for nearly 6 years. I go to T.H.E show in Newport Beach each year to listen to some exotic setups and I've never felt the itch to upgrade these speakers which only cost me 700. If anything I'll be trading up the JMR line, but everything that is said about the musicality, warmth, live-ness, and timing of these speakers I feel are true.

By the way, these speakers are paired to an amp that I will keep for life as well, my trust old Audiomat Arpege Reference integrated. 'Til the day I die.
Scott, I would have to agree with you about the Triton Ones. They really do play any genre with aplomb. Try playing some Opeth off the well recorded Ghost Reveries album on a lot of Audiophile speakers and they will fall on their ass. I don't need to limit my music selection anymore. Don't know if I will keep them for life but for the foreseeable future. They can be delicate or a real visceral experience.
