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?

The game is not over yet.

I am moving back and forth between Lansche and Scaena today since I am free all day today.

Scaena ribbon need to be driven by tube amp while Lansche plasma tweeter seems to work well class D amp.

I favor Lansche on piano and orchestral music.

But Scaena give better separation of images in soundstage and more front to back layering.

I have no choice now. I threw out my shipping boxes of all my gear. I better die before the gear gets old.

Yes I can live with my speakers for the rest of my life. I feel with each passing year it’s like I walk down the road and at every crossroad there is a guy asking me for money and selling new speakers. The problem with this analogy is that for every block I walk further the more money the guys ask from me. Comes a point after walking that it’s ridiculous. Not knocking anyone else shelling out that mega big cash, it’s just not something I want to do.
