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 think I am "done for now", and maybe forever, with the new Intuitive Design Summit loudspeakers which are about 3 weeks old. About 3500 for the speakers and ~1500 for the stands, these are utterly phenomenal. I can't even imagine what the Intuitive Design Denali loudspeakers must sound like (priced at 40K per pair). I am sooo happy with these--I HAD been seaching for this level of sonic performance all of my adolescent and adult life--now I am THERE.

Stevecham:
The only speakers worth owning are those that are accurate in reproducing the original signal fed them.

And that means only Thiel or Vandersteen. ALL others are NOT accurate and LOSE much of that information by losing harmonics that are contained in the TIMBRE of instruments.

I don't care what you spend, it does not matter in the least. There are only these two manufacturers and that is it.
So are you saying that you DO or DO NOT like Thiel and Vandersteen?
