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.

Legacy Focus 20/20's

Martin Logan Aeon i

My favorites so far.
Possibly my B&W Matrix 802 series 3. Thinking of upgrading to the Nautilus 802, but might consider getting outboard xovers first. I have the stands so not much to push the envelope. Have a Classe DR25 and ARC tube linestage. Im very happy with the sound and have heard the N802, but never thought they were much better. Cant afford the Diamonds yet. 8 yrs with them so far. Anyone know where I can get the outboard Xovers
I have 3 generations of large Martin Logan culminating with Prodigys. My loyalty is to electro statics, the sound of anything else is somewhat turgid by comparison. During my 30 years of ML I have never felt the urge to move Even Maggies cant compete at less than 40Hz. Donald
A Set of Magneplanar Typani IIIA's or IV's. Buy something else, as you prefer, but set aside a listening room for these beauties...and don't give them up until you're really sure.
