Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

KEF 104.2's. My all time favorite, reasonably priced speakers were the KEF 104.2's. Another great sounding speaker for the money were the Klipsch Fortes. Those are some jamming rock speakers.

As I mentioned above, I've changed from Coincident Total Victories to Fab Audio Model 1, now supplemented by a pair of ACI Titan subs. I discovered that there were better speakers out there, but I just hadn't heard them yet. The Fabs are faster, more neutral and efficient, and have better resolution and microdynamics than the Coincidents. I have no doubt that there is an even better speaker for my purposes and tastes out there somewhere waiting to be discovered.

I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking, "Ah, these XXX are the best there is!" when what they really mean is "These XXX are the best I've heard so far."

Tannoy hpds active with messa strategy 400 / 200 a side valve amps.

Bought 'em back in the 70's. Still have them, still love them.

Nrenter, I meant it when I said it, Köchel K-300 horns. Not that I'd limit myself, but I really don't see any reason for me to change over to something else. They are wholly satisfying to me. I will probably do a parts upgrade on the cross-overs. I could also see toying with subwoofers someday when I don't have anything better to spend my budget on.
