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.

It depends on the size of your listening room. For a smaller listening room, I will go for LS3/5a. For a relatively large living hall, I am using Avalon Ediolon. I am very satisfied with Ediolon, the better front end added will allow you to explore its capability to the fullest. I took more than 2 years to fine tune the positioning of these speakers and since then, I never stop enjoying listening to music. It simply has the best of everything and the sound it produces is so life like!
Wilson X-2 Alexandria. I have owned many great speakers but this is the penultimate speaker
Oneobgyn, you have obviously spent much time and effort putting together a beautiful system; but if the Wilson X-2s are the penultimate speakers, what are the ultimate speakers?
I will go out on a limb and say the Wilson Maxx ll.

The series 2 upgrade on these speakers is truly amazing as it has much of the X-2 technology at 1/3 of the price. They are a speaker worth owning--so much so that Wilson Audio has discontinued their much more expensive X-1 Grand Slamm Series lll as it is outperformed by the Maxx ll
