Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Probably Sound Ultimates or the big Maggies would be ideal. If you can jump high enough you grab hold of the top frames of the speakers and "hang on" from now 'til doomsday, kinda like with monkey bars. However, if we're talking abouth speakers we would want to "hang onto" for the rest of our lives because of the musical satisfaction they provide, well that's whole 'nuther gym set.

Simple: What speakers are in the Smithsonian ?

Quad ESL-57s, without a doubt. After all, many people have already owned them "for life". Now that I've experienced them, I despair for all the time I've wasted. You mean I could have been listening to THIS for the last twenty years? Why didn't anybody say anything? Why didn't I listen to those who did?

Apogee Divas were/are in the Smithsonian. They were placed there to give voice to Mozart's piano, playing Mozart. Should have been the Scintilla, IMHO.

Hornshoppe Horns. Despite the inherent and obvious limitations (on paper) of a 3", rear horn loaded driver, I have yet to be so captivated by a speaker. None of the 'shortcomings' are at all apparent when one listens to this jewel. With no crossovers and being directly 'wired' to the amp, one gets the sonic 'gestalt' of
any presentation. Truth in timbre, lightning fast transients, great dynamic swings, its all there. A real find.
