Can you live with your current speaker until you die?

Yes I can!

In my 40 years of history I had gone through around 15 speakers including

ADS, Altec Lansing, Thiel, Canton, Apogee Duetta Signature(10years), BMW 801, Avalon Ascent, Wilson Audio Watt and Puppy6.



I settled at Pacific Northwest area located just midway between Seattle and Vancouver BC around 6 years ago.

It has a nice western view of Bay and Pacific Ocean with 2 acres lot.

I could play music loud during midnight with no problem to my neighbors as long as I close the windows.


With vaulted big space, my Lansche 4.1 speakers makes a beautiful voice out of classical, Jazz or even new age music.

I had been living with the speaker since 2007.

I do not claim that Lansche 4.1 is the best speaker in the world.

But with clean and pristine treble out of plasma tweeters and pretty good bass out of 2 10 inch driven by internal active amplifier and high efficiency (99db spec, but I believe it to be around 93db), it is hard to find better speaker with overall merit for my house.


The only catch is that it can stop working since it is an active speaker( plasma tweeter and active bass unit).

But I keep having good communication with Henry Dien of Lansche Audio who upgraded plasma tweeters twice at reasonable cost.

I can happily live with Lansche 4.1 speakers at my present house for my life unless serious health issues happen to either me or my speakers.

How about you gentlemen and ladies?

Had any one of you found the speaker for your life?

I've been accused of being a "serial monogamist" with my audio system, up until a year ago, was on a 6 to 7 year journey, swapping out one component at a time, till I arrived at the setup I have now.

I'm 65 and it's likely I'll keep the equipment I currently own now, including the Focal Sopra No2's, but with the improvements in the Focal lines in the future, who knows...

I have an "all digital" source system and it seems that the components which are advancing to a great extent are the DACs, so I might be tempted to upgrade that in a few years.

Good for you.

I also plan to update digital front end although I will keep my speakers.

I’ve had my Dali Euphonia ms4s for over 12 years now and there’s still nothing I would change about them. 
Can I live with them the rest of my life? I probably can but ya never know what the future holds. :)

About 10 years ago I discovered Maggie’s and my turnover of speakers rain stopped with the 3.6s.  Now being 70 and still content, I will not get back into the whirlpool of can I find better.  

Now on it did take some equipment changes to make them truly sing, not to mention Mye stands which were the best bang for the buck ever.  

My ears suffer rfom from too many concerts, but I will always remember Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison among all the others.  My system is still Nirvana to my old ears.

Only moving to a small home would make me give them up, Shout Out to Elizabeth!
