Pioneer- stock pair that came with full system- 1985
Klipsch Forte'- 1987- still have, still great.
Merlin VSM-MM- 2005- I hope to hold onto these as long as the Klipsch. If I do I guess I'll be set until at least 2023.:-)

Truly scary how many speakers I have been through since 1972:

Dynaco A25 purchased for $106
Design Acoustics D4 purchased used for $150
Infinity Monitor Jr. purchased for $450
Tangent mini monitor (Canadian) purchased for $550
Chartwell PM110purchased for $500
DCM Time Window purchased for $750
Tannoy Mercury M2 purchased for $350
Dynaudio Audience 42 (store demo)
purchased for $650

While a lot of money has been spent over the years, it is interesting to note that many people have spent more money on just one set of speakers, while I have been using several pairs for what ultimately is not a backbreaking amount.
