Speakers to hang on to for 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?

Best Regards Warren

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.

I have had a pair of Teledyne Acoustic Research AR-9 Towers forever and still goin strong after a re-foam 2 yrs ago...these are 20 or so years old.

I have a pair of B&W CDM 9NT's. I've only owned them for about a year and a half. I don't plan on ever getting rid of them. I love them.

Got to go with Living Voice Avatars as David mentions above. They truly match up beautiful with my Audio Research tube gear and are astonishingly transparent. Love 'em.
