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.

I was fortunate enough to find a pair of Ocellia Tilias on Audiogon, and they are music incarnate. I am not even slightly tempted to try their more expensive fare since I know that just because a particular product has the right "magic" it doesn't mean that the higher priced models are better. Often the opposite is true.
Not much later I got a pair of Diatone P610MA drivers in Wood B. Lansing BR enclosures (from EIFL, Japan) that I have been using in my video rig, mated to two Carver Original Subs, to watch TV, listen to music, and burn in any amp I get before I decide if the amp is a keeper.
Both of these speakers portray a very natural tone and image, qualities extremely hard to find in this world of ours.
The greatest fun I get from these speakers when they make me turn around to listen when I am at my desk trying to get some work done, or backtrack a movie to make sure what I heard was what I heard. It always makes me laugh.
Be well, and thanks for reading...
