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 will go out on a limb and say the Wilson Maxx ll.

The series 2 upgrade on these speakers is truly amazing as it has much of the X-2 technology at 1/3 of the price. They are a speaker worth owning--so much so that Wilson Audio has discontinued their much more expensive X-1 Grand Slamm Series lll as it is outperformed by the Maxx ll
My Dahlquist DQ-30's are awesome!!!!!!!!! I drive them with an Adcom 5802 and the sound is amazing. I was thinking about selling them .... Dont know yet..
The Maxx ll comes awefully darn close to the X-2 with much of the same technology. What I said was that the new Maxx ll bests the discontinued X-1 Grand Slamm Series lll (which I owned and found it to be a terrific speaker). For 1/3 the price of the X-2 the Maxx ll is an amzing speaker and worth an audition. At 20K less than the Von Schweikert VR9, I feel "IMO" that it is a far better speaker (than the VR9). It is worthy of everyones audition if they are considering either speaker.
ok. so the maxx II would be the penultimate, and the alexandria would be the ultimate in your ranking.
thanks
