Speakers to hang on to for LIFE


After 9 years with my Proac Response 3s, I recently decided to change speakers. As you can tell, I'm not an upgrade fever patient. I want something I can live with for years & I think the best advice I'm gonna get will be from those who have & are still living with their speakers for an extended period of time. Please tell me why too. Thanks.Bob.

I wish, I still had my old Servo-Static panels, especially for their tweeter elements. Sigh....
EPOS ES14! Absolute stunning sound, incredible sound stage, luscious mid-range, voices, especially female, are spectacular sounding. I have owned quite a few pair of speakers in the past. Martin Logan Aries i, SL3s, Polk Audio, KEF, Pro-Arc, Dynaudio, Klipsch, Naim. The Epos have put them all to shame, regardless of the price and size. People seem to have the idea programmed in their heads-that the more the speaker costs the better it sounds! I heard a pair of Wilson Watt\Puppies played through a KRELL FPB 600 and I had to bite a hole in my lip to keep from laughing! What a sucker punch to pay the price for all that equipment and have that kind of sound come out. I have a modest system that if you blindfolded yourself and listened to the two, you would save yourself enough money to buy a decent automobile!! The only problem with these speakers have, is finding them!
I still have a pair of B&W DM7's. I bought them new 23 years ago. They are not in my main system but I still listen and enjoy them. My other speakers are from Avalon and I plan on never getting rid of them. If you haven't heard the Avalon line please check them out they are incredible.
