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.

The most impressive speakers that remain unforgettable and, therefore, if I had them I would hang on to for life are (no particular order):
Sonus Faber Electa Amator
Sonus Faber Ellipsa
Artemis Eos Signature with Bass Modules
ProAc Response 3.8
ProAc Supertower
Joseph Audio RM33
Joseph Audio Pearl
Quad ESL 988
Vandersteen 4
Gallo Reference 3.5
Dynaudio Special 25
These were the best in their particular areas, that I've ever heard.

The one I boughtÂ….Dali Euphonia MS 4. Narrow baffle, svelte, nice casework, good bass, fantastic top end, great midrange, nice imaging. Fits in a medium room well. High WAF factor.

@Ctspooner I've never heard the extremas but, have always lusted after them. My acupuncturist had supertowers and I always thought they had an uncanny rightness about them - even when laying on a table!

I forgot about B&W 800's - very impressive but, who would have the right space to make them sing? I've also been very impressed by song big Ushers - can't recall the model - something Dancer. Furthermore, I'd add the MBL 101 Radialstrahler.

The speaker I'd most like to hear is the Dali Megaline. Nothing sexier than a huge ribbon tweeter.
