Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

My current speakers are Dynaudio Countour 5.4's. They continue to satisfy and amaze me as my system evolves around them. Good low-end response down to high 20's, great midrange, and same esotar2 tweeter as in many of their most expensive designs. They will probably stay with me for life (I'm 61), I'm even completely renovating my listening room around them. Only speakers I've liked as much (that I've owned), were Tannoy 12" Monitor Golds. Wish I still had them.

Best to all,

Dan

I have spent the last 15 years with a pair of Martin Logan Aerius. They still amaze me at times. Once I finally figured out how to properly treat the room they really started to shine. Before that I bought a pair of Dhalquist dq10 in 1980 up umtill I got the ML's. They were good.
I am having the 15 year itch, so this thread is a good read!

Ran into a pair of Von Schweickert VR-7SE's a few months ago - they do everything right and shouldn't be leaving my system anytime soon. Really great speakers with no artificial built-in subs - everything you hear is produced from the speakers' engineering. Fast, musical, detailed, holographic, 3-dimensional, great bass, mids and treble, etc., etc. - this speaker's got it all.

Pass Labs Rushmores!

I will second Jebsmith73 in saying that the Rushmore's are one of the best speakers in the world. My next upgrade will have to be another 2 pairs for surround sound.

Just lovely, with a little Metronome integrated and CD player

I also have come to "re-love" my nautilus 805s when I heard them with an Ayre AX-7e integrated and Ayre CD player. Completely different from the WBs, and I think that's why I will keep both sets. USed a Proceed amp previously, and it sounded good, and similar to the Classe-BMW mix. I prefer the sound with the Ayre.
