The longest you have owned any gear?

In a few short months my Wilson Audio Watt speakers will be 30 years old. The serial numbers were so low, I know Dave built these in his garage. Over the years I had the xover upgraded to series 2's, purchased the puppy cabinets, then also upgraded those to series 3. More recently  they needed new tweeters, new baffle foam, and new grilles but by and large they are in amazing shape and they still give all of the Wilson "Magic".  Numerous cd players, dacs, pre and power amps have moved thru my room, and these speakers have grown and shined with each upgrade in front of it. As I look back and listen, Dave was years ahead of his time. A Wilson Audio product is truly is a lifelong investment! 

I am still using an Adcom GFA 555 in my current home theatre system that i purchased new about 28 years ago. This amp has been incredible throughout the years without having any problems what so ever or needing circuitry upgrades. I also have 2 other Adcom GFA 555 II amps also pretty old still cranking out powerfully in system as well.

Some pieces open the door to the music--regardless of their vintage. My 39 year old Nakamichi 600 II is one. Properly tuned, it plays music very compellingly.

Hi Inna,

This system is musical and satisfying. The Avalon progression began with Ascents to Eidelons, later Diamonds and presently Times.  A very nice improvement, especially in the lower registers.  CAT JL-2 Black Path amp adequately drives the speakers, although my occasional yearning for additional, over-the-top decibels leaves me....yearning for more power.  Rarely does the Convergent not deliver.
