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?

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.....
Indeed I can!  I had a pair of Tannoy 15" Berkley's for 30 years.  Now I have Sonus Faber Elipsa driven by McIntosh.  Absolutely superb in my listening room.  I still get chills.
Never say never.  I've had my Legacy Focus speakers for 20 years now, always improving with new cables and tweaks.  I went through Acoustat Xs, 2&2s and Martin Logan Monolith 3s in the prior 15 years.  I do not want to revisit electrostats. My next speaker could be a Von Scweikert VR55 (or Ultra 9) or Lumenwhite Kyara or some other $50-60K speaker, maybe used even. 

I'm 62 and hoping to live a long time (and my hearing is excellent).   I should be able to afford a better built speaker (the original Focus isn't SOTA).  The question remains how much better a speaker I can buy for $50-60K when I can afford it in the near future.  And, I only want an efficient speaker, no Magico, Wilson, B&W, etc.  They are off my wish list.  I've also enjoyed some horn speakers but don't think I can live with them.  

Yes !!

Wilson Maxx 2's. They're to heavy, and I'm to old (and lazy) to move them, so they are here to stay !! LOL :)
