Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I have a pair of Avalon Avatars in my system now.
Other speakers have come & gone. I can't justify selling these. I paid $1750.00 at my Wilson dealer for these around 6 or 7 years ago. There is nothing I've heard at this price that can touch them.
I did sell my Apogee Mini Grands, but I have a very clean pair of Stages in my hallway, in boxes, waiting to go into a dedicated system. I'll pair these with James EMB-1200 subs. I know these will beat the Mini Grands, the James subs blend seamlessly with any speaker I've tried.

LEWM I'm trying to get ahold of you regarding my Soundlab A1-PX I can't find your email address anywhere. If you see this can you email me at vanderdm@shaw.ca Thanks!!

I loved the Heybrook HB1s I had in the U.K. in the mid 80s, then in '91 went to floorstanders that I still have in my home theater, Snell EIIIs, now my two channel system uses the Gallo 3.1s which I love the look and sound of, which will make it hard to part with them... but the call to greater efficiency is making me look around.

10 years. U decided yet?

A Maggie man, here, but your budget was unstated and surely crucial to a decision.

I have found that the better the electronics, the better they sound.

I am not in the next 5 years, going to change my speakers, and if I do I will have to spend over $50K. The speaker I am talking about is the awesome Venture Audio CR-8 Signature.
