Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

After having the Mission/Cyrus 782's for over 20 years I looked for a second set just in case something happened. I did find a pair of 781's so I picked them up for parts (same drivers and crossover). Then I heard the Dynaudio C1's after some B&W's and Sonus Fabers. For the first time in my life I felt I could justify cost. At over 9 times the cost of the 782's I got them. I think I'll have the C1's for another 20 or more years (Ok maybe unless Dynaudio comes up with an evidence series monitor).

my acoustat SPECTRA 33 electrostats since it's no longer manufactured and the company is no longer U.S.
not impressed with the chinese company that bought it. They downsized the original design.
all of my OHM ACOUSTICS are worth preserving especially the pyrmaid cabinets.

I was fortunate enough to find a pair of Ocellia Tilias on Audiogon, and they are music incarnate. I am not even slightly tempted to try their more expensive fare since I know that just because a particular product has the right "magic" it doesn't mean that the higher priced models are better. Often the opposite is true.
Not much later I got a pair of Diatone P610MA drivers in Wood B. Lansing BR enclosures (from EIFL, Japan) that I have been using in my video rig, mated to two Carver Original Subs, to watch TV, listen to music, and burn in any amp I get before I decide if the amp is a keeper.
Both of these speakers portray a very natural tone and image, qualities extremely hard to find in this world of ours.
The greatest fun I get from these speakers when they make me turn around to listen when I am at my desk trying to get some work done, or backtrack a movie to make sure what I heard was what I heard. It always makes me laugh.
Be well, and thanks for reading...

I would go with the B&W matrix 800's as well, I sold a set and am really sorry.
Some other fine ones are the EPS Montana line (from what I remember hearing)
