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.

Well I am new here and a bit angry in my old age and I want someone to put a pair of Pinnacle PN5 + up against the new Thiel or ????? They have to be stock!!! and report back . You can get them for less than a. hundred bucks off EBay sometimes. The Pinnacle Ac650 might be another interesting listen. I have PN5+ firing ten feet from me as I lay on the sofa. I like that near field listening. I don't think you can get detail in a big room with big speakers. Granted it isn't row ten at symphony hall.... A self powered sub with good level and crossover is needed to get all music covered but even without the subwoofer. ...I just bask in the music....
I notice old A/D/S have quite a high following and resale on EBay. I always thought they sounded muddy. I have a suspicion a Thiel or Spica might beat Magnepans for me but those designers are close to my heart
