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 Doctor says I have only six months to live so I think it is possible...........................................................had he said one year it might be questionable.
@ soundsrealaudio

It is too bad to hear your sad story!

You may want to enjoy music as much as possible with your current system.

I purchased my Von Schweikert original VR-4s in 1997.  Had them factory upgraded in 2002.  I've rotated the speakers in my bedroom systems, but these have been in my main system for 21 years now. I have auditioned many other speakers (up to price points of $15K to $18K) over this period, but have yet to hear any which impressed me to the point of swapping out the Von Schweikerts for them. 
@ danabunner

Von Schweikert  VR-4s is a nice speaker.  If you like it, you do not need to change speakers.

I had a sweet offer for Wilson Watt Puppy 6 from one of dealer around me 20 years ago. 

I swapped Avalon Ascent II which I had been happy.

The result was somewhat disaster, the sound from Wilson was too bright for my taste.

I was forced to sell it to get B&W 801.


I think I could have lived with my Beethovens, but I had to go down the rabbit hole. Now I have a $22k pair of speakers dominating my room that do everything better than the beethovens do 'cept when I swap them out those old speakers still sound really good, no I can't count how many pips are singing harmony like the $$$'s can, but I DIDN'T KNOW THAT until I went looking for it! There's currently 4 pair of speakers in my basement and I could live with any of them the rest of my live. Picking one, that's the hard part.
