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've had (and still have) three speaker systems "for life". KLH Model 5's, bought in 1972; B & W 801 F's bought in 1982 and ADS 1290's (with ADS 300 back channels) in 1992. I "just" bought a pair of Martin Logan CLS's (in 2007) and have worked them into the mix. They've all been restored at one time or another and are still going strong.

HI Doug! Did you ever get your Joule's up and running?
Very interested in your analysis of them.
Kindest Regards

My latest & best are the Infinity Beta's. You can build a great system around these! Any shortcomings are far overshadowed by their strengths(including bass below 30hz). I don't ever seem my self selling them! Just ordered a new DAC from PS Audio and a ARC LS25 MkII preamp, along with the newer Epsilon Crossover/Controller for the Betas. Can't wait to hear the "new" system once it's in place.
