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.

I had a pair of thrusters too! My first stereo set up - brings back memories!
I find that the Acarian Systems Alon Model IV Speakers excellent at everything, and a speaker to hang on to for life. The only thing is, to get optimum performance from them, a high quality amplifier is best paired with them, preferably a Tube amp, or a good SS Amp like a Krell or the like, they are a power hungry speaker, best triwired, or Biamped, but well worth the investment. These are now called NOLA Speakers, same owner, Carl Machiotto, and they are always surrounded at the CES year after year, the design remains the same, from the lowest to the highest in price models. The Alon Model IV speakers were $3500.00 retail new, in 1992. Ray
Magnepan owners tend to stay with their speakers for a very long time and when (or if) they change speakers, it's very commonly an upgrade within the Magnepan line...
