Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I don't know about hanging on to my current Mordaunt-Short Performance 6's for life, but I do regard their physical form factor as being among the best ever -- a unique modern classic that won't seem dated-looking way beyond what the vast majority of designs manage: a virtual Eames chair of 'box' speakers, a pair of Oakleys among Foster-Grants. (Though I appreciate a fine wood finish as much as the next guy, when these metallic-painted, extruded-foam beauties first came into my listening room, their wholistic, curvy elegance instantly made my beloved Thiels look faintly ridiculous, like clumsy dinosaurish contraptions a few millenia past their extinction date. Just make sure you leave the rudimentary grilles in the cartons. And after a very lengthy break-in and a couple small tweaks, the sound quite nearly lives up to their stunning looks and technology -- which, thanks to Chinese manufacture, already far exceeds their price in typical high-end terms.)

Oh well. Two years ago I sold the speakers amp and preamp I posted about on 6/3/06. For the last two plus years I've had a BAT amp and preamp with Hansen Prince speakers. I'm not sure about the BAT gear, but the Hansen's were bought with long term goals in mind. They are the perfect size for the room they are in now. If I eventually down size my home I'm not dealing with 400 pounds of speakers. The Hansen's are the best speakers I've ever heard!

For a secondary system, these small speakers are sublime!
Look (glossy black, small and nice proportions) and Sound.
Despite cheap components being used.
The guy who calculated the enclosure and the crossover is a genius.
