Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Me 2, but what does that have to do with anything?

I've owned the original Newform Research R8-2-30's from Sep/93. Several times I've threathened to sell them but I've resisted the urge. There are handsomer speakers but these things just make music. Stereokarter, I hear what you"re saying. Regards.

Avid 103 and Proac Super Tablettes
I have lurked in this forum and audioasylum for about 8 months. But had to respond to this thread. I own a pair of Avid 103's purchased in 1974 from a dealer in Connecticut and Super Tablettes since 1987. The Avid's I lent to my son and he used them for about 3 years. I now have them back. No there not great but not bad either. The Proac's are light on base but image wonderfully.
Recently I purchased B&W N805's, which really opened my eyes to what I may have been missing. I love these speakers. The main reason for these speakers is I wanted to buy from a company that will be around for a long time (this is important to me). Some companies are here today and gone tomorrow, they may be good, but I feel no conection with them.

Dynaudio Confidence 3's - even if I venture into bigger or different speakers some day, I imagine that I will keep these and use them somewhere in my house. They are really an incredible, full sound in a relatively small package.

Saw spica tc-60 on sale(AA was it?)now you can own those a life time and if audio expenditures cause a divorce,they can be carried in-hand.
