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.

As I've aged, the frequency of loudspeaker changes has dropped linearly. After changing loudspeakers about as often as underwear through my 20s and 30s - a set of ADS towers was in place for 6 years - replaced 10 years back by my Thiel CS 3.6. Make no mistake - despite ANY claims to the contrary these are amplifier EATERS. In my cavernous listening room - anything less than 300 watts per channel is a disappointment.
I realize that there are Thiel lovers - and Thiel haters among you. I fall into neither camp. The CS 3.6 plays Norah Jones and symphonic crescendo with equal grace. Piano sounds RIGHT - and that IS rare.
They will remain my speakers until the new 3.7 hits the used market at a price I am willing to pay.
If you've never listened to Thiels - you should.
