My favorite: Thiel CS2.2 amber wood speakers. My first true audiophile purchase in the 90's. I enjoyed listening to them for decades. Amps, pre-amps, and sources came and went, but the Thiel CS2.2 speakers were a constant. Just traded them in for about $500 less than I paid ~30 years ago. $500 / 30 years < penny per day listening cost.
I upgraded to Thiel CS7.2 speakers, so no regrets.
