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?

I have been in love with my Nestorovic System 16 powered by McIntosh solid state amps since 1990. I recently had new surrounds installed on two of the mid range drivers but that is all of the maintenance required. The solid state McIntosh amps now do sub woofer duty only and a pair of MC 275 tube amps handle the mids and highs through the NL12 electronic crossover. Mile Nestorovic was a genius and his speakers remain as proof of that. https://youtu.be/GoTVCEk0XmQ |
I've owned many good speakers but the one that hit all the important areas out my Quads. Their slight limitations don't outweigh all that they do better than any speaker I've owned. They make music sound real, coherent, with such color and tone of each instrument. I added a Martin Logan Depth-i sub and I am in audio haven. The Lesslss Marc-C interconnects and speaker cables really brough it all together. |
Never say never, I thought at the time I owned the Apogee Full Range that these would be my final speakers....but I was too young to have those as my final speakers, so I bought a pair of Apogee Grands.... But still too young....so now own Gryphon Pendragons, most likely the last high end speakers I will own in this world... When the time comes that I will have to let go...I will be hoping that at "the other side" they have some good speakers as well..... |
