Steven Allen:
I would be hard pressed to find speakers at a decent price that can do what my Infinity IRS V can. Sure, I could go and get the newer Genesis 1.1 for a lot more money, but the upgrade is rather small in my mind versus the money it costs.
Besides, newer technology isn't always better. People still use tube amps and listen to vinyl here, so don't come off saying that all these old systems are just boat anchors. Besides, my system wouldn't anchor my boat - it would sink it. ;-)
I realize that there have been improvements in phonographs and tube amps as well, but there still isn't a CD player that sounds better than phonographs that existed a long time ago.
Keeping something for life? Well, I don't know about keeping my IRS V for life, but I plan to hold on to them for at least 15-25 years (2-3 refoamings necessary) and often times, a life sentence ends up being about 20-40 years, so that may be about right for my speakers.
