Can you live with your current speaker until you die?

Yes I can!
In my 40 years of history I had gone through around 15 speakers including
ADS, Altec Lansing, Thiel, Canton, Apogee Duetta Signature(10years), BMW 801, Avalon Ascent, Wilson Audio Watt and Puppy6.
I settled at Pacific Northwest area located just midway between Seattle and Vancouver BC around 6 years ago.
It has a nice western view of Bay and Pacific Ocean with 2 acres lot.
I could play music loud during midnight with no problem to my neighbors as long as I close the windows.
With vaulted big space, my Lansche 4.1 speakers makes a beautiful voice out of classical, Jazz or even new age music.

I had been living with the speaker since 2007.
I do not claim that Lansche 4.1 is the best speaker in the world.
But with clean and pristine treble out of plasma tweeters and pretty good bass out of 2 10 inch driven by internal active amplifier and high efficiency (99db spec, but I believe it to be around 93db), it is hard to find better speaker with overall merit for my house.
The only catch is that it can stop working since it is an active speaker( plasma tweeter and active bass unit).
But I keep having good communication with Henry Dien of Lansche Audio who upgraded plasma tweeters twice at reasonable cost.
I can happily live with Lansche 4.1 speakers at my present house for my life unless serious health issues happen to either me or my speakers.
How about you gentlemen and ladies?
Had any one of you found the speaker for your life?

Never believe an audiophile who says he can live with a speaker until he dies...until he dies. Before then, we know what happens. ;-) In my case, I know myself: it's exceedingly unlikely that I will use only the same pair of speakers for the rest of my life. Though, that's not to say I might not KEEP a pair of speakers around for a very long time. I still have my Thiel 02 speakers I acquired in the early 90's that I haul out sometimes. I don't ever seen getting rid of them. My current Thiel 2.7s are such great all-round speakers and something of a "unicorn" in terms of my finding them (very rare on the used market, and this pair in particular in the ebony finish that makes them ultra-rare), that I can not see myself selling them. They are so good, they allow me to enjoy music so reliably, I would keep them as a "just in case" speaker no matter what else I buy so I don't regret selling them. |
To prof1 You have a relevant point. it is easier to keep it forever but not that likely to use it until you die. I had used Thiel for 3 years about 30 years ago. But I sold it when I need to move across the Continent. |
