Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I change speakers all the time. I get a new pair almost every year. However, the Green Mountain Audio Europa's are here to stay. I've never heard a speaker sound more like actual instruments and voices like these do. I don't care if I get a new system, I will not get rid of the speakers. I'll keep them in a system somewhere in my house... as long as they'll play, I'll be happy to listen.

I know Roy's coming out with some new ones soon to fill the in-between gap from Europa to the big ones. Even if I get them, I'll hold onto the Europas.

Of all the speakers I've owned, these are the only ones I've ever felt this way about. Awesome speaker at any price.

Marantz HD880s. Over 25 yrs old, redid the surrounds & that's it. Larger Advents 30+ yrs old, also "surrounded", still kickin' in the loft. I'd hope my Paradigm Studios would last so well, but I'm not holding my breath.

AR9LS's..........22 years and counting!

Nice forum
Boston acoustics A200s from 1981. They still offer great sound. In fact I would say you have to step up to a 3k speaker to better the sound by a wide margin. They do all things well and are very musical. Also, even though they are large placement is easy because they are only six inches deep.

I've had the ADS L810's in my system since 1980. I've considered upgrading many times since then, but always changed my mind. If I ever do, I'll keep the 810's anyway. A classic.
