Nice systems!
I hope you enjoy it until you die.
I also have Altec A7 which also sounds musical.

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?

shkong78 Your pockets are much deeper than mine. The Lansche are gorgeous, small enough to fit many people’s spaces, the Altec’s need a converted barn or aircraft hanger, I would love to hear both. DONE. Hmmmmmm, I think I’m done too, just messing with cartridges which doesn’t count as change does it? Level Controls: What controls are on the back of the Lansches? I cannot find a photo that shows the back enlarged. The Altec’s probably have some way to adjust their output, correct? |
Thanks for your compliment.
I do active biamping on Altec A7 so that I can adjust tweeter horn level easily.
It also give more transparent sound. Recently I tend to play Scaena 3.2 more often since it give more realistic soundstage.
Of course, Lansche 4.1 give refiend treble due to plasma tweeter.

kennymacc"Like you, in my current home, in my current room" ............................................. I just read every post, what an amazing collection of speaker designs. I am thinking, for each person, their listening space is a big part of their thorough happiness with their chosen speaker. Of course budget is involved regarding which models are auditioned, and the budget does reflect in the size of the spaces that permit/restrict what essentially fits. Room treatments, some, more, finally darn good for the space probably progresses along with various auditions, i.e. final choice is speakers auditioned in a successfully treated space. Without my beloved level controls, there is NO WAY my speakers would sound great in this space. I would probably still be listening to my other favorite: JSE Infinite Slope Model II's. Their 'balance' was outstanding in the audio show, (a rare thing as many have mentioned), and simply/luckily sounded great in this space with no level controls. As good as the JSE's are, I missed these, part sound signature, part looks, part emotional i.e. their origin/memories of my uncle/my personal involvement with designing new enclosures/repairing the woofers myself, acquiring spare parts, i.e. when listening, I cannot separate all that from their sound. When I look at the lack of internal bracing (I thought I would have to add some), and the lack of cabinet vibrations, I shake my head at my woodworker's skill and just plain luck. Great stories from so many members here, thanks to OP for this thread. Elliott |
I had listened to Magico M9 about two hours ago in private audition.
M9 is the best modern speaker that I had ever heard.
After attending Pacific Audiofest 2022, 2023 and Seoul Audiofest, there are some nice speakers that draw my attention.
But none match natural and relaxed presentation of M9.
Of course I noticed no dynamic limitation playing Bruckner "Ressurection".
This could be real end game speaker if you can afford it.
