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.

Polk SDA-SRS 2"s bought in 1988.Klipsch Khorns bought a 1987 vintage pair in 1992.I modded these with Beyma cp-25 tweeters and Alk Trachorns in 2006.I own seven pair of speakers but don't think I will ever sell either.I listen to the Khorns the most.
Last year's purchase of Guru QM-10s are a revelation for me and I'll probably hang on to them until I can afford the QM-60s or something comes along that can outpace their amazing musical flexability, price point and compact size.
i have paradigm studio 100v2...i have had them for about 9 years....they are like tanks....real good bang for the buck...peace
Great thread... I have been through speaker "upgrade-itis" going from Klipsch KG4's in my college days, to ML Mosaics (could not afford electrostats), to Paradigm studio 100's and finally to Dali Euphonia MS4's. I purchased the MS4's second hand here off AGon over 2 years ago. It may be that they are the best speakers that I HAVE ever owned, (few reference points), but I honestly believe that I will own them for life. I sway, over time, between 2 channel and HT, they more than impress me in either situation. As I age, I believe that I will continue to see their value, and as I have told my wife, they actually can bring tears to my eyes with the magic they create.
