Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

KLH Nine electrostats. Bought a one-owner pair in 1992 for $500. Still in use today!

I have an original pair of Apogee Duetta II Signature Series speakers my dad originally bought in the late ‘80. I’m getting them completely rebuilt/upgraded in the next few months and will never replace them. I can’t imagine better speakers.

I've owned Thiel speakers for the past 24 years and will probably carry on for another 10 years as long as parts are still available.

Great Discussion,

Same Drivers made in 1958 (used by me for 57 years) now in Custom Rosewood Enclosures

Originally in Fisher President II Console and moved into 3 custom cases over the years.

Originally fixed spacing within Fisher President II, woofer facing down, unit on 8" bronze legs

1st pair of separate enclosures: Light Rift Oak Identical to Fisher box, 8" chrome legs, simply moved the front panel with drivers, new fabric, woofer still facing down

2nd pair of enclosures: English Brown Oak, Taller Case, increase cu ft some, to face the woofer forward. No 8" legs so was around the same height

3rd, current enclosure: Larger yet, 6.3 cu ft, rear port (port blocked in this location)

I'm not living without them. Spare drivers, all 3 types. Just bought another spare re-coned 15W and cone kit for one of mine with dried out cone.

Horn Tweeter T350

For the life of me, I cannot understand how these 4 horns all still sound fabulous at 62 years old. What the heck are they made of?

those cuts are 8 ohms, mine are earlier 16 ohm versions

Long Lasting Horns: text says: 1" coil epoxy bonded to phenolic impregnated diaphragm, extremely rugged assembly. I'll say!
