Can you live with your current speaker until you die?

Yes I can!

In my 40 years of history I had gone through around 15 speakers including

ADS, Altec Lansing, Thiel, Canton, Apogee Duetta Signature(10years), BMW 801, Avalon Ascent, Wilson Audio Watt and Puppy6.



I settled at Pacific Northwest area located just midway between Seattle and Vancouver BC around 6 years ago.

It has a nice western view of Bay and Pacific Ocean with 2 acres lot.

I could play music loud during midnight with no problem to my neighbors as long as I close the windows.


With vaulted big space, my Lansche 4.1 speakers makes a beautiful voice out of classical, Jazz or even new age music.

I had been living with the speaker since 2007.

I do not claim that Lansche 4.1 is the best speaker in the world.

But with clean and pristine treble out of plasma tweeters and pretty good bass out of 2 10 inch driven by internal active amplifier and high efficiency (99db spec, but I believe it to be around 93db), it is hard to find better speaker with overall merit for my house.


The only catch is that it can stop working since it is an active speaker( plasma tweeter and active bass unit).

But I keep having good communication with Henry Dien of Lansche Audio who upgraded plasma tweeters twice at reasonable cost.

I can happily live with Lansche 4.1 speakers at my present house for my life unless serious health issues happen to either me or my speakers.

How about you gentlemen and ladies?

Had any one of you found the speaker for your life?

If my speakers don't die, then I'll live with them till I die unless I decide to become a squatter.

In the later half of the 1960s I had a large, portable stereo with two detachable speakers .
In the early 70s ((while I was a music major with no money) the detachable speakers crapped out on me and without a great deal of funds or tools I constructed speakers made with matched 8” speakers with wizzer cones in the middle, and mounted them in somewhat reinforced cardboard boxes.

Mid 1970s  Generic bookshelf speakers

Later 1970s. RTR Tower speakers front and rear channels

1981 Magnepan MG-1 front speakers / Generic bookshelf rear speakers

1982 Magnepan MG-1 Improved front speakers / MG-1 rear speakers

2015 Magnepan 1.6 front speakers / MG-1 Improved rear speakers

2016 Magnepan 1.7 front speakers /1.6 rear speakers (All 4 - Mye Stands)

2017 Magnepan 1.7i front speakers /1.7 rear speakers (All 4 - Mye Stands)

2019 Magnepan 3.7i front speakers /1.7rear speakers (All 4 - Mye Stands)

2020 Magnepan 3.7i front speakers /3.5 R modded rear speakers (All 4 - Mye Stands)

Unless an accident happens, these will be my lifetime speakers

Also - from 1985 to present - 1 pair of custom built subs with 15” woofers, crossed over at 40 Hz

I can keep my Harbeth 40.2 until I die. But most likely I won’t.

Well, I may never wake from tonight’s slumber...

You may never wake from tonight’s slumber...

So, your current speaker better be the one you can live with until you die...

Always listen to your speaker like it’s your last night on earth, dude!! 😁

(i.e. don’t be a halfass ADD/ADHD dingus listener)
