Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I first read about Spendor speakers in Studio Sound , a British pro audio mag in 1973. I ordered 2 pr of BC 1s and have used either them or the SP 1s ever since, along with other models. I was a dealer for them for several years. They are still my choice, although I also like B&W, Apogee and others. Speakers are a very personal choice and depend on what music we listen to and how we listen to it.

VANDERSTEEN 1C's......They'll sound magnificent forever !

over the years, i've held on to
sonus faber guarneri hommage
quad esl 57s
tannoy rectangular grf
tannoy autograph professionals

everything else has come and gone.

I purchased a set of Magnat Ribbon 5 speakers about 26 years ago and over the years I have performed the following renovations:
- in 2000 - Re-foamed the 8" drivers
- in 2006 - Re-foamed the 3.5" mid speakers
- in 2007 - re-built the crossovers

The latest reno was a complete rebuild using Mundorf Cap's. They are now providing excellent music with much more details in the upper and lower frequencies while maintaining their smooth midrange

I have always liked the very neutral tone of these speakers and have not found a speaker anywhere near the same price range (even allowing for inflation) that could replace them
- other than Magnapan, but then I'd need a good subwoofer and a new hi-fi room

Now I'm looking forward to another 25 years of service

Where did you get your drivers re-foamed ? I am looking for a place to get my Proac 2 main drivers refoamed.
Thanks
