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 four best speakers I have ever owned were the Joseph Audio Pearls, the Magnepan MG20.1, The Avalon Eidolons and the Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos. All were definitely "keepers"

See my list of speakers in the personal speaker evolution thread:

I sold the Joseph Pearls and have regretted that fact since the day I shipped them out.

I also sold the Magnepans and while they were wonderful they do make a real visual barrier in your room - no real support from my wife on these.

I kept the Avalon Eidolons and Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos and may well hang on to them for life.
