I've owned numerous speakers in my relatively short time in this hobby (about 6 years now).
They include:
Vandersteen 1ci
Vandersteen 2ce Sig II
Tekton Electron
Paradigm Prestige 75F
Kef R11
HHR Exotic Ohm F redesign (TLS1 hybrid)
Vandersteen Treo CT
Fritz Carbon 7
Wharfedale Diamond 12.2
Klipsch RP600M
Magnepan .7
I've sold all of them and have kept the Vandersteen 1's and the .7's. For my room and my tastes, these have been the best sounding speakers I've owned. There's something about the coherence of a 2-way speaker that appeals to my ears.
I've read it numerous times both here and on other sites, that Maggies don't do bass or slam. In my 11' x 13' room, that couldn't be further from the truth.
I'm not saying I won't buy other speakers in the future. But for me, I think the .7 could possibly be a lifetime speaker.
