Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I have a pair of Audio Physic Sparks that I've now had since 98.They sounded good when I last played them.They have been boxed since 99.They were so expensive that I didn't want to keep playing them, fearing that I may get used to the sound and that I would have to upgrade and the upgrade would cost more than my $2,500 spent for the sparks.

I had a friend ( passed on) that would always help me bye my gear, he some how always got great deals. On my Kef refference fours on my veloydne sub and my theater grand I never paid anything close to retail price. Should i just be thankfull for the luck ive had and now pay retail or is there some thing i can do to learn his secrets. Im looking for the Martin loagn vantage

please diregard this thread i thought it was a new thread i was starting,cj1cap

I HAVE OWNED THE DUNTECH SOVEREIGNS FOR 18 YEARS AND I SEE NO REASON TO CHANGE THEM. A TRULY MAGNIFICIENT SPEAKER.

I've owned Unity Audio Signature 1's since '93. Wonderful on any type of music-great midrange and good treble and bass response. They simply disappear and have great soundstage. A great bonus is their appearance-beautiful furniture-grade wood.
