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 still have my Rogers LS2a bought in 1988, but they were in a box packed away from 1995 until about two months ago. I dug them out to pass on to a British friend who has a Naim Nait and can really appreciate the "little beasties," but so far I still have them.

Four or five years ago I bought Yamaha NS-1000x, which I absolutely adore in every respect except looks. I plan to replace (or add to) those with another pair in totally untouched, mint condition if I ever find such a pair. Every other speaker I've tested, including many, many, high-end expensive sets, is lacking something sonically significant in comparison.

I've also had a pair of B&W 805s for a few weeks, but I'm not sure whether I'll be keeping them long.
