Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Thiel CS3. Brazilian rosewood, #23 & #24 off the line. Perfect looking and sounding for there age.

Is this thread really 10 years old? :0

For me, my Epos ES11's -- which they will have to pry out of my cold, dead hands. I have never heard them make a 'mistake.' And I have been listening to them for 7 or 8 years.

Canuhearthat,
If he changed the woofers, they are no longer the same speakers as they were designed to be. And it appears that you paid way too much.

I'm a working class man, and all of my equipment has been budget hi-fi, as they say. I'm using a NAD Viso 5 for a surround receiver right now. I've used many speakers over the years, but keep coming back to my Image Concept 100s. I've had 'em since 1989, and they just sound better than other budget monitors. They cost $600 per pair in 1989. Now I have two pairs of them. I bought one set used on ebay. Damn they sound fine--the midrange is nearly flawless with a good recording. A bad recording sounds like a bad recording.

Sad to say, the Image brand is a thing of the past. But these little wonders live on in my living room.

Polk Lsi15. I have had the urge to 'upgrade' for 9 years. But there is nothing out there that would be an 'upgrade'. Sometimes we have to accept the fact that we did it right the first time. Which is what the OP's post implies.
