Apogee Duetta Signatures for 15+ years. I have been upgrading everything else (well, even the Duettas if you count adding an active crossover and bi-amping) and they just keep sounding better and better. Even small changes are very noticeable. I still think in terms of what I can do to improve how they sound rather than what might replace them. I do think they are better with classical and jazz than some rock but my better produced rock sounds great, too. It might be argued that I have spent more trying to meet their requirements than I would if I replaced them with more efficient speakers, but it is still fun trying to see how good they can be. I do tend to hold on to things. I also still have my Polk 7M's (almost 20 years) which I have used in smaller rooms.
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
After 9 years with my Proac Response 3s, I recently decided to change speakers. As you can tell, I'm not an upgrade fever patient. I want something I can live with for years & I think the best advice I'm gonna get will be from those who have & are still living with their speakers for an extended period of time. Please tell me why too. Thanks.Bob.
