Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I have a pair of Montana SPX. I have to say these are the only speakers that I have had where I have had zero listening fatigue, or (a first for me) an urge to upgrade after 11/2 to 2 years. I have friends over and they can't believe the sound stage and clean uncolored sound. These are kind of hard to find to audition but worth the effort.

The Dunlavy V's. It is my 10 th year and I see no need to replace them.

Agreed! That is the mark of a great speaker. No more Merry-Go-Round for you. No need to own the latest styles or hyped models....no need to keep up with the Jones' ...it will just be different, more trendy ( more magazine "ooohs and Ahhs" ), more precious materials, but rarely, if ever, can you do much better buying this years model versus a proven classic! Learning when to stop! Recognizing when the poor sound quality is the bad mix/master from the studio and NOT YOUR GEAR...is the first step to keeping gear for life.

If the DAL V's were an SUV then it would be a "Land Cruiser"....who needs the latest Cadillac Escalade or Land Rover just to get more cup holders!

I couldn't have said better myself, Shadorne!

For the last 30 years I have owned and loved my Rogers LS 3/5a's with a pair of Satterberg subs. Many preamps, head amps and amplifiers have come and gone there way but these have remained. Only recently did I decide to sell those and buy a new set of speakers. I have picked those out and will not look back probably for another 30 years. Buy well my old speakers sold for 3 times what I purchesed them for. My new ones will do the same.
