Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Apogee Duetta Signatures...I have owned since I purchased them brand new in 1991 for $4,000. There is no reason for me to own anything else.

B&W Matrix 802 series III

Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand. I hope to have a long life. So, if not for life then at least for the next 5 to 10 years I will keep these.

I would have to list 3 speakers from a single manufacture, Vandersteen. The Quatro Wood, Model 5a Carbon, and Model 7. All these speakers are repairable by the manufacture for probably longer then anyone will own them as well as are upgradeable so they won't become obsolete.

These speakers are natural, neutral, and very live. Personally I have not heard a better speaker then the Model 7 for any amount of money that is as Live, Accurate, Disappearing IE as close to a Live performance as I have ever heard.

IDK about for life, but two years before my son was born, i bought some Polk Audio SDA 1c's brand new. Back when Polk was something special (1985). My son is now 23 years old making my Polks 25! They serve duty in my HT system (i also have a much newer dedicated two channel music only system). My son and all his friends want to steel the Polks because they still kick a**!

My son (who also inherited the audio bug) auditions many brands, (like PSB, Def Tech, Monitor, Paradigm, Klipsh to name a few) but he always comes home disappointed and says "i want ones that kick butt like your Polks". Then proceeds to try and talk me out of them.
