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.

SF Guarneri Homage...haven't thought about another speaker for a split second since owning these.
After a 15 year journey into this wonderful world of Audio, and a least 10 different pairs of speakers, I have settled on a pair of Magenpan MMGs with Peter Gunn cross-over, revere panels, and oak rear frame. Floor spikes with 20 lb. of lead shot on the cross-over. Sound to die for IF you have the room, and the POWER!!
Jman,
Agree with you, my Sonus Faber G's have got me off the merry-go-round also.
A very special speaker that is a pleasure to own.
I've been using Kharma 3.2 FE Reference for a long time and only today I've decided the technology is going on and I should upgrade...with what? I have no ideea. Probably somethig expesive so I will change them in 10 years.
My speakers for life are not doing well. Have had a pair of Genesis II from Genesis Physics Corporation since 1977. They are warm, sweet and room-filling. The last couple years they "crackle" when I change volumes and make some other odd noises. Would it be worth it to try to rebuild them or are they bound for the dump? Would they even sound the same rebuilt? Any new speakers (moderate price range) that could give me a similar sound?
