Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

After going through more than a dozen pairs of speakers in my 30+ years of searching...I think I've come across one that will probably fit-the-bill for a long time to come. A speaker that gives full-range response, is accurate and at the same time, very easy to listen too. A speaker that althought quite big, is forgiving of the less-than-ideal postioning. A speaker thats hand-made and finely crafted by a fellow who has to be included in the list of "Audio Good Guys".

I talking about the "Woodmere" made by Tyler Acoustics....

I think you have to tip your hats to the innovative speaker designs that stood the test of time, so far. Like Quad ESL 57, Harbeth Super HL5, Vandersteens, etc. Some of the speakers mentioned in this thread are too dependent on "new" technology of here-and-now, which will be old news all too soon.

I have owned Duntech Sovereigns since 1987 and I intend to be buried in them (the enclosures are certainly big enough). About a year ago I had to replace all four woofers as the surrounds went bad. They now sound better than ever. A great speaker IMHO. By the way, all drivers in the Duntech are Dynaudio and the folks at Dynaudio in Bensenville, Illinois are really first class.

My Rushmore speakers By Pass Labs.

Carl Marchisoto's Alon series of speakers namely the Alon 1's and the Lotus SE loaded with Alnico magnet midrange drivers.

These two speakers just plain make music and disappear into the soundfield leaving no trace of themselves behind providing due attention to room acoustics and supporting components. In fact, I'm on my second set of Alon 1's after selling my original pair to a friend. These baby's have a synergy that is magical when carefully mated with the room and components.

Add a REL ST series subbass system to either of these and jump off the merry-go-round... ;-)
