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.

My family have the B&W Matrix 802 series 3 for 15 years now. I have listen to these speakers since I am a little teenager. I think I will hang on to them for a few more years.
In the future I plan to update with B&W Prestige Series or the Calix Phoenix Grand Signature. I think both of them is in the same price range. But I don't see many reviews about either one. I think the only drawback of the Nautilus Prestige Speakers require 4 stereo amps or 8 monoblocs. I think is too much of space to allocate for that or biamps would be okay.
I've still got my JBL L100t's from 1986, but they are in the bedroom system now. I upgraded the bass transducer to a pro-series and although they lost a little on the lower end the mid-bass can kick your heartbeat out of step.
