I think you have to tip your hats to the innovative speaker designs that stood the test of time, so far. Like Quad ESL 57, Harbeth Super HL5, Vandersteens, etc. Some of the speakers mentioned in this thread are too dependent on "new" technology of here-and-now, which will be old news all too soon.
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.
