Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

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.

I agree with Nocaster, I have different speakers and components in different houses and even different systems in the same house. I would buy the Boston Accoustics A200 speakers again today although if you could find them I'm sure $3,000 would be a good deal. I've had them hooked up to a Hafler and together perform better than anything else I have ever bought. They are high end.
