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.

I have had many different pairs of speakers since 1968. My current main room system has Magenpan 3.6's, they sound wonderful.

But... Speakers to hang on for life???

I'll keep my Rogers LS3/5a's!

Enjoy
I use to be a high end dealer. Sold all the classic speakers. I always went back to Rogers. I just like the sound. There is no best speaker. It may take you a long time but keep the pair you like the best. I found a pair of speakers made by a fellow in California that sound a little better and cover the lower midrange and base better than the LS3/5a. They are also more sturdy. They were called Speaker Art when I became a dealer for them. I like these and have a pair today. They cost about $4,000 a pair but well worth it. He makes a speaker today similar looking that has had some good press. If someone is interested I could do some research and find out current info on the company. I sold a lot of expensive speakers in my day as a dealer but always found the best speaker to be the one you keep coming back too. It may not be what others like and may not be all that expensive but if it sounds good to you, stay with it. Terry
Not the "best" speaker I have heard, but for day after day long term listening my Acoustat 2+2 panels are really easy to enjoy. Alas, my wife and her interior designer have recently banned them from the living room. I still do not understand what is wrong with 8 foot panels in the living room?

Tduffy1.....Terry, I too have a pair of Speaker Art speakers which I enjoy more and more as time goes by. Bob Gross is the gentleman who makes Speaker Art speakers and has been more than helpful with any questions I have had in the past. Excellent speakers that do most things quite well.
