Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I have 4 different systems== including my first high end speakers---DQ=10's. They are ina small room w/ a pair of MC-30's running them.........music to my ear.Bought the DQs back in 1977 while still in college--but working in a stereo shop. Here is a pic of me w/ them from 1978 and The Tympanis ...which I recently sold.

Ok i know this is an old post but my speakers are even older i'm an Acoustat fan boy since 1984 going on 27 years and still in love my friend Jocelyn REVIVES the old and brings them back to life you can see some of his work in my Flickr photo galery here http://www.flickr.com/photos/mracoustat/ mine are a pair of modified 1+1s all 2x3 steel frame filled with silice they weigh 200 pounds each Jocelyn's model is the Spectra 6600s also all steel frame covered with mahogany wood they weigh 600 pounds each they are almost thief proof no matter what model he rebuilds once completed they sound incredible dollar for dollar it's the best I have heard in 40 years and i have heard quite a few i am 66 years old and audio as been my ONLY passion for more than 40 years.

I don't think my Lahave Mela monitors are going anywhere as long an I'm alive. Awesome monitor, with tight tuneful bass, pure mids, sweet highs. I could mistake them for a top-notch floorstander in the dark from the full sound of them. (But they are too nice looking to keep them in the dark, but this is just a bonus; I'd love them just as much if they looked like wooden crates.)

Just got a pair of tyler acoustic decade d1 speaker, they are very nice

I bought 2 pairs of Epos ES11's in 1995. I sold one pair that were set up in the bed room after a year. I still have the other pair as my main loudspeaker in a living room that is on the large size. I have purchased many bigger loudspeakers since then. Some way more expensive, some not. I always come back to the ES11 when I want to listen to music. A pair of Epos ES22's dropped in my lap and that was, what I thought, my answer to my large living room. With the ES22's I can get more bass and volume without stressing the loudspeaker and amp. True, but I eventually put the ES22's in the bedroom and the ES11's back into the living room.

I haven't had the need or desire to look for another loudspeaker. Synergy is the key. I believe I have found it with my associated electronics and the
Epos ES11.
