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.

Jaybo, I took your advice..I bought a pair of AR Classic 30 speakers in mint condition. What a shame they do not make speakers like this anymore. True acoustic suspension is so accurate sounding. I went on a speaker hunt last month and came to the conclusion I needed at least 4500 to buy some(used) Legacy 20/20. I believe I have bought an even better speaker, one of the best I have ever heard, for just 1300. Talk about rare, I have only heard of a few people who have heard them. Thanks for your advice...They are big however, 54"h-18"deep-beautiful walnut, I used to believe that technology made older speaker designs obsolete, but it turns out superior engineering always wins...It would be too expensive to make speakers like this nowadays. I heard they used first order crossovers, proprietary drivers, hell the cabinets are worth the money alone...The most natural sounding speaker I have heard to date, and I have heard many.....I just hope my aussie's do not take out the bottom 10" woofer....
After enjoying my Artemis Eos for 5 years,I retired them for JM LAbs Alto Be's.I love these guy's!
congrats barney1010.....it was ar's last 'east coast' hurrah and they made one of the best at any price.
