Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Last year's purchase of Guru QM-10s are a revelation for me and I'll probably hang on to them until I can afford the QM-60s or something comes along that can outpace their amazing musical flexability, price point and compact size.

i have paradigm studio 100v2...i have had them for about 9 years....they are like tanks....real good bang for the buck...peace

Great thread... I have been through speaker "upgrade-itis" going from Klipsch KG4's in my college days, to ML Mosaics (could not afford electrostats), to Paradigm studio 100's and finally to Dali Euphonia MS4's. I purchased the MS4's second hand here off AGon over 2 years ago. It may be that they are the best speakers that I HAVE ever owned, (few reference points), but I honestly believe that I will own them for life. I sway, over time, between 2 channel and HT, they more than impress me in either situation. As I age, I believe that I will continue to see their value, and as I have told my wife, they actually can bring tears to my eyes with the magic they create.

I've been using a pair of Empire grenadier 8000p in my bedroom and They sound beautiful. These babies were made in 1966 and sound superb. I had a pair of vintage kef 105.4 reference before I got married, I hooked them up to my Accuphase p-800 power amp and my accuphase dp70v cd player that was a heavenly sound.

I have a pair of Altec Model 19s. While they will not win anyone's contest for sweetest treble, they are pretty special. I just spent a couple of weeks listening to them. Wonderful with tubes and analog.
