  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 have an acoustat spectra 33 w/spl 1 subwoofer I acquired a number of years ago with the original box from the original owner. Definitely a collectors speaker and the largest I have and one of the largest acoustat ever made until they came up with the spectra 44, 66 and the 4400,6600 series. It's literally the size of a room divider, sort of like the magnepan tympani series. I think my ohm walsh 300 mk 2 and my ess heil 1d, and now the janszen add on electrostat high/mid panel are loudspeakers and add ons worth holding on to. I also have a rare SRSLABS klayman signature that was made in 2002 that is also no longer made. One of the few flat panel loudspeakers that can only operate with a subwoofer and totally useless without one but create a good HT soundstage but no where in the same league as all the speakers mentioned. Srslabs did a great job for HT on them but could not sell them. That was the demise of acoustat, too much competition at the time and did have the marketing to keep the business going, but it was considered one of the great manufacturers of electrostat speakers. Janszens,quads and martin logans managed to survived over the years.
