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.

Hey all, I recently acquired a pair of Shahanian Arc's! They are missing the passive Radiators and will cost $400 to replace new from manufacturer. I don't know much about them but many people who know about these seem to like them. I know there expensive but do you think they are worth repairing? I'm debating fixing them and keeping them or selling them as is. Any advice would help. Thanks!

You would probably get more responses by starting a separate thread.

First heard these when I was 17, back in 1971 or so. I've owned a pair built about then since 1986, rebuilt a couple of years ago by Wayne Piquet. Don't go very deep, don't play very loud, but wonderfully transparent and holographic. I will never part with them.
Vandersteen 2C's (any incarnation).....

I will change my amps, front-end components and cables, before changing these.

I swear on them!!!!

Hi O_holter my I was interested in the audiokineses LCS Dreammakers likw what you have I have been listening to a pair of Green Mountain Audio EOS HX bookshelf speakers time aligned and phase coherent. Is room size a big contributing factor for the Dreammakers? My music is a mix of jazz vocals sometimes a little rock but not much.
Any inputs are deeply appreciated.
