Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Audiokinesis Jazz Modules. I've been living with these for a little over a year now. I can't recall hearing a speaker that reproduces timbre the way these do, not even my beloved Spendor Classic series 1/2e could match the Jazz Modules in this area. A recent comment by Lynn Olson (part-time PFO reviewer and an audiophile who dabbles in building his own equipment) had this to say about them:

The AK are probably the best horn speakers at this time - frankly, much better than the Geddes Summa or the much-hyped Avante-Gardes or other German exotica.

throw in a cuple of frenchies....cabasse clippers and sampans...friggin' magic.

I got the Altec Lansing ATP3s, they have been with me for almost five years now. They are pretty good.

I still have my Rogers LS2a bought in 1988, but they were in a box packed away from 1995 until about two months ago. I dug them out to pass on to a British friend who has a Naim Nait and can really appreciate the "little beasties," but so far I still have them.

Four or five years ago I bought Yamaha NS-1000x, which I absolutely adore in every respect except looks. I plan to replace (or add to) those with another pair in totally untouched, mint condition if I ever find such a pair. Every other speaker I've tested, including many, many, high-end expensive sets, is lacking something sonically significant in comparison.

I've also had a pair of B&W 805s for a few weeks, but I'm not sure whether I'll be keeping them long.
