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.

After spending many years with my Martin Logan electrostatics, my listening room has gotten smaller. I recently purchased a pair of Dynaudio C1 speakers. I am confident that will serve me for quite a long time in my smallish listening room.
I have a pair of Yamamura Dionisio 27 i bought 15 years ago, they have been upgraded by Bé Yamamura during the years, i think that among the other speakers i own, they are my preferred still now.

I lucked upon a pair Apogee Centaur a couple yrs ago on CL.very smooth sounding speaker. I'm sure they will be here for awhile. Also lucked into 2 pair Advent Baby II AND TWO PAIR BABY'S still in original boxes. cabinet and grills in perfect condition, I was looking for newer speakers, but decided to give these a try and am I glad I did, planning to keep at least two pair and MAYBE sell the other two. they also will be here.
I have a pair of Legacy Focus. I was so comfortable with them that befor I knew it 14 years had passed! I still love them, but, as I thought it, I didn't want to completely live-in the past. I needed to know that I was still reasonably technology current. I upgraded to my ears and pocket book max and now own Coincident PR's. And I am thrilled I did the upgrade, but a little saddened to finally realize that I was really too comfortable, the music was always the same. Nothing to get really excited about. And I am a vinyl guy with 4K albums. Now, I really have to admit I get excited every time I power the amps up. And of course the bottom line is the Focus must go to a new home. Problem is, what is a fair price? The Focus are still great speakers they only need a new owner!
