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.

Marantz HD880s. Over 25 yrs old, redid the surrounds & that's it. Larger Advents 30+ yrs old, also "surrounded", still kickin' in the loft. I'd hope my Paradigm Studios would last so well, but I'm not holding my breath.

Nice forum
Boston acoustics A200s from 1981. They still offer great sound. In fact I would say you have to step up to a 3k speaker to better the sound by a wide margin. They do all things well and are very musical. Also, even though they are large placement is easy because they are only six inches deep.

I've had the ADS L810's in my system since 1980. I've considered upgrading many times since then, but always changed my mind. If I ever do, I'll keep the 810's anyway. A classic.

Sonus Faber Extrema speakers. After owning literally dozens of hi-end & exotica speakers, the Extrema's remain in my reference system.
