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.

Triode: What speakers are you referring to? Your post doesn't say!! I think you may have put it into a heading, but that doesn't come through.

I bought my Snell Acoustic Type AII speakers in '79 or '80. Still have 'em, and still love 'em.

Oops! I was referring to Avantgarde Duos. They've literally changed my life!

I appreciate your honesty about audio. I heard the Trios in 2000 at Ces and the Duos with my past Cary 300 SEI at a dealers. My wife is too spooked to want to be in the same room w/Avant's. I am limping along w/Sonus Faber Grand Piano's and Audio Note Kegon Monoblocks. I am wondering if I should keep my hideously expensive Kegons and wed with horns or go another direction. How can I get chillingly beautiful sound?

See, I already proved my point in my previous post! It hasn't even been six months, and I'm on to another speaker already! Eminent Technology LFT-8a.
Did the in home side by side comparison of the Magnepan 1.6QR to the Eminent Technology LFT-8's. The LFT's blew the Maggies away. No contest. The LFT8a's are my newest "speaker for life." Really.
