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 the PSB Status Golds for several years. I miss them, and for the price they can't be beat. I went on to Energy Veritas v2.8's (better, but twice the price), and am now into Totems (a whole different ball game). The Golds, are rolled off at the top end, and the bass is a little floppy, but the music flows, and they are a joy to listen to. You will be chasing your tail if you try to upgrade - just keep them and enjoy.
I listened to KLH model 5's and 23's for 32 years and liked what I heard. I bought ribbons (soundline SL-2's) 8 years ago and will never go back to a boxed speaker. I have been auditioning Maggies and will be setting up my system around them.
I am honest enough to recognize that I'm not one to keep anything for life, but the Audio Note AN-E SPe HE speakers I recently acquired are as close to lifetime keepers as I've owned.
Hey, Grant! I'm glad to hear that you've found a speaker that pleases you. May you now go forward with musical enjoyment and bliss. And all the people said... (o:
I traded a pair of klipsch heresy's to a young kid who had a pair of ohm walsh 2-he wanted the loudness of the klipsch and I have always wanted to check out the ohm.I use the ohm's in a second system-powered with a 35 year old acoustic research amp and a very old onyko cd player,basic cables-basic speaker connects--in the small room they are in they are INCREDIBLE sounding-I am wondering if they have had the ohm upgrade-I will have these forever.
