Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I've a pair of Chario Constellation Ursa Major, these are my seventh pair of Chario speakers, and I'm looking for the Serendipity, top-of-the-range brand speakers. Never owned other speakers.

I just swapped out my Spendor S8e Speakers with some Zu Druid speakers. I found the Zu Druids to sound much more open and dynaic and impart more musical richness than the Spendors to me, particularly with vocals and guitar.

The highly efficient Zu Druids have very good midrange bass and are only lacking in the lower sub frequencies from around 40hz down. The are fast and they come up to speed quickly as they can be played well at low volume levels or can be driven hard. A sub easily fills in the lower sub frequency levels, yet they sound respectable without a sub. Expect them to sound terrible when you first get them as they improve dramatically over time in spite of factory break in.

In all fairness the Spendors are also great speakers. I seem a little clearer and more accurate than the Zu Druids and have bass deep into the sub frequencies. However, if you drive them real hard, they can cut out and make a buzzing sound. I imagine it is because they are puting out so much bass already.

Hopefully my new vandies 3a signature. I'm a med student with a <20k yearly income so consider myself luck to own such a speaker

After having the Mission/Cyrus 782's for over 20 years I looked for a second set just in case something happened. I did find a pair of 781's so I picked them up for parts (same drivers and crossover). Then I heard the Dynaudio C1's after some B&W's and Sonus Fabers. For the first time in my life I felt I could justify cost. At over 9 times the cost of the 782's I got them. I think I'll have the C1's for another 20 or more years (Ok maybe unless Dynaudio comes up with an evidence series monitor).

my acoustat SPECTRA 33 electrostats since it's no longer manufactured and the company is no longer U.S.
not impressed with the chinese company that bought it. They downsized the original design.
all of my OHM ACOUSTICS are worth preserving especially the pyrmaid cabinets.
