Some are never ever satisfied with their speakers or anything else, no matter how much they paid for them either, and will spend the rest of their lives buying speakers. There’s not a darned thing wrong with that. These types of audiophiles, however, just cannot except or wrap their heads around the fact that some/most of us have no interest in remaining on the speaker merry-go-round forever. These types of audiophiles consider those of us who think contrary to their beliefs to be non-true audiophiles (which is utterly ridiculous). I depend on those types to keep the used market charged up, so I can afford to buy speakers that I would not ordinarily able to afford ("Thank you to our dear wealthy audiophiles"). We all go though several different speakers over time as we’re in experimental mode (this can be very costly). But, I do believe that the vast majority of audiophiles who do run though a number of different speakers do this as a means to an end, and are, in fact, in search of that truly special (to them) pair of speakers that they think they can live with for the rest of their lives. I have found that very special pair of speakers that, as long as live in my current home (I’m retired and I’m in my last residence in life) I’ll never give up my beloved Revel Salon 2 speakers.
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?
