Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

On Topic. I've had a pair of ACI (audio Concepts Inc)Sapphire II monitors paired w/ a sub for years. I recently expanded to AV and bought their Emeralds for rears. I could hear much more from the Emerald's tweeter than from my 18 yr old Sapphires. I'm 50 now and have some high frequency loss. After reasearch and listening I bought some paradigm S2s off this site. The tweeter is unbelievable in imaging high end. (see reviews) But, I miss the airyness and natural sound of ACI's. I'm looking at the Sapphire IIIs posted right now. (different tweeter) For the money (factory direct), an easy on the ears, natural detailing speaker The ACI's are great. They have their latest edition the XL out now. Great reviews. As soon as I can afford them Im going to make them channel B. and have both pairs set up. I just can't live w/o the ACI's

DIVAs. I wouldnt sell a Genesis 1 either. But i will definetly not sell my Grands, cause i will never get another one :-)

You don't want to hang on to speakers for life. Life is to short. Technology is changing speaker design, some even for the better, so try some new ones!!!!

Have many because i have many dfferent setups mostly tube. My ADS-910's beat out my others by a narrow margin because they all have their strong points for variable applications. The ADS's though are ery good in almost everything even though the vintage JBL's KEF's Goodmans are worth noting as well That is almost as bad as asking my favorite amplifier ha ha.

OK, I am not well versed in the technical aspects of audiophilia, but I know what I like. I have been trying to replace my B&W 801F's, bought new in 1980, with something more up-to-date, but I can't find it yet to justify the change/price. To solidify my old fashion ways, my 2nd system is original Roger LS 3/5a, 16 ohm; bought in 1976 (now paired with a REL Sub). I didn't start out as as a vintage guy; all my front end has been replaced numerous times but I can't find a good replacement for the old 801's. Going to listen to Usher BE's, Kharma's, Avalons, and ? at Rocky Mountain this year; maybe I'll move into the 21st century, then again?
