5 Years or More?

I've had My Maggie 3.6's for 9 yrs.

Had Apogee Duetta Sigs for 7 yrs. Sold them a few yrs ago due to the new house having a smaller room for the second system.

My newest speaker will be a keeper. It was custom made by a friend and uses an active x/o. I use SET's for each driver. It's the best sound I have heard. The Maggies have only been hooked up once in the last 6 months but I hate to let them go.

One thing I notice about the kind of speakers that tend to be keepers is that the designers seem to think the speakers are worth keeping in their lineup without radical changes to an original design idea - if you get it right the first time no need a new idea every two years. Vandersteen, Maggies, Merlins, Soundlab, etc. their is a pattern - these companies also seem to last and be successful without design revolutions, but gradual evolutionary developments. I wish I had a chance to hear the Apogees with the right amp at some point.

Advents: sixteen (16) years.

Dunlavy's: six (6) years

V.A. Mahlers: six (6) years, but they were in my second system most of the time.

I have a pair of 1959 JBL sinature series 030 drivers in a C38 enclosure. They were my fathers and are 49 years old. 16 years after that I bought my own speakers, New Klipsch Heresys in 1976 for $550- if you wanted grill covers that was another $50. I did without, still have them but don't play them much. Just sneeking in are my current systems. The WAF system has Von Schweickert VR2s about 6-7 years old. I also own Klipsch La Scalas and the C36 JBLs with D-131s for extended range drivers same 075 tweeter circa 1962 both bought by me in 2001-2003.
In my big rig I use JM lab Focal 936 Electras almost exclusively just 5 years old, I built my system around them! I have others including Merlin TSMs.

I have Snell CIV speakers from 1992, replaced a blown mid-range, but have no plans to replace soon. Love the bass too.
