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.

so you're saying that the new maxx is better than the alexandria?

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

I think I am "done for now", and maybe forever, with the new Intuitive Design Summit loudspeakers which are about 3 weeks old. About 3500 for the speakers and ~1500 for the stands, these are utterly phenomenal. I can't even imagine what the Intuitive Design Denali loudspeakers must sound like (priced at 40K per pair). I am sooo happy with these--I HAD been seaching for this level of sonic performance all of my adolescent and adult life--now I am THERE.
