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.

Apogee Scintilla, biwired in 1 ohm configuration, obliged
me since '88/89 to continuously improve all the other components and cables. And what a rewarding journey it was! As JA said in his review at the time, these speakers
were ahead of their times and waiting for the electronics to get up to the chalenge. They were also called the speakers for the most adventurous type out there - Indiana
Jones like. I second that. If you realy want to get involved with your gear grab a pair for the giveaway prices that they are occasionaly offered nowadays...and start the journey.
You Guy's might think this is funny but still have my original Advent loudspeakers since '75. I had many others also, But these are keepers for life
I bought a pair of EPI tower speakers in 1974...Those ugly speakers have traveled with me for almost 30 years from one end of the country to the other....They have experienced dorm room parties...house parties....and all kinds of music from Robin Trower and Mott the Hoople (remember them?)..to Pat Metheny to Steely Dan to....well.....My point is these speakers are like family....and I could never rid myself of them.....and by the way...they still sound great...My recollection is they cost about $94.....for the pair!!!
