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.

It is common sense to choose a design that had at the heart of its execution accuracy as central goal.
Interestingly, I've yet to read a design philosophy of a speaker manufacturer that DIDN'T claim this as their goal. Website after website, they all avow accuracy as their goal. And yet, they don't all sound the same, and clearly not everyone buys the same brand of speakers. Perhaps common sense is only common to those who agree with our choices. :-)
Stevecham, owners of Harbeth speakers, used around the world in professional settings, would disagree with you about only two brands producing accurate sound.
Stevecham:
The only speakers worth owning are those that are accurate in reproducing the original signal fed them.

And that means only Thiel or Vandersteen. ALL others are NOT accurate and LOSE much of that information by losing harmonics that are contained in the TIMBRE of instruments.

I don't care what you spend, it does not matter in the least. There are only these two manufacturers and that is it.
So are you saying that you DO or DO NOT like Thiel and Vandersteen?
I have had a Satellite-Volkswoofer System since '78. Could someone please help me price these to sell. I've been all over the net and can not find very much info. They are in pretty fantastic shape.
