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.

Bought my Walsh 4's in 1986 they were a store demo (1984 build).  Sold my Infinity Monitor Jr.'s  which I had purchased in 1977.  Currently scratching my head as to whether I should just re-foam them one more time or trade the cans in for a Walsh 3000 series 'upgrade'.
Mine'r almost 30 years old.  They've been in my room for a mere nine.

No itch to change out.
Purchased M&K S- 1A’s and a 60 watt M&K sub in 1982. Using a Primaluna dialogue hp integrated amp. I listen to mostly jazz. Speakers still sound great!

Prediction:
Most of those in this thread who talked about a speaker they would use "for life"...have moved on to other speakers ;-)

No doubt about it, 
You should see a  topic over on Audiokhrama, 
**List your speakers in order of  favorite, best fav at top of list  please***
Folks over there own more than 2,3,4, up to say, 6,7,8  speakers,,,,UNREAL.

I fiannly dumped my Millennium tweeter acting as 1500hz - its roll off at 12khz.

Just ordered a  -~~My Final pair~~~For life.
Voxativ wide band.
I am glad I bought perhaps one of the best sounding xover types back in 2004, so I felt no need whatsoever to jump on and off  the speaker-merry-go-round. 
I get no pleasure at all  buying a  component and finding its not to my standards.
No not at all. 
Thats why i am getting My Final Pair. 
You too can jump off the speaker merry go round. 
I did. 
Actually I never got on the  ride.

Here's one for the ages
