Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I've had these ADC Sound Shaper 3010 bookshelf speakers for going on ten years. They've certainly endured. I got them from my father who had them I think for 5 years beforehand. I'm only thinking of replacing them because the cabinet's cracked on both. I use them as a right and left channels.

Can anyone tell me more about ADC Sound Shaper? I know they used to make equalizers and other equipment. The speakers sound great, are three-way, have an impedance of 6ohms, and handle up to 150 watts. Frequency response is 24-28kHz.

I'm no real audiophile (my hearing doesn't allow for it). I have:

Pioneer VSX-D5095 a/v receiver (5.1)
JBL TXLps10 subwoofer
aforementioned ADC sound shaper 3010 speakers
Sony entry-level center channel and rear surround set
Momitsu 880 DVD/CD player
Scientific-Atlantic 8000 DVR cable box

I've had over 60 speaker systems, all types and sizes, over the past 30 years and I really like the Coincident line of speakers. Presently have a pair of Conquests that I plan to keep forever. May try the Partial Eclipse someday but still plan to keep the Conquests.

The first high end speaker is the last speaker I will own, that is the Proac responce 2. I think that this speaker does many things right. When matched with their respective Target stands & coupled with a good subwoofer they will make magic. I would prefer a pair of Legend's but they were not out yet. I also feel that an upgrade should not involve much additional funds since the Proacs are an excellent speaker in itself.

Surfgod. I would heartily concurr with your speaker choice. Given good electronics and placed on proper stands in an appropriate room..... they will humble far too many so called hi-end speakers out there today, regardless of cost. Designed and tuned by an artist with a great ear for music. Sadly.... I sold my pair many years ago to upgrade to the response 3... which turned out to be a little to large and overpowered my smallish room at the time.

The answer to this question was very easy for me. I do own a couple of high-end speakers, both from Proac, but I always find myself wanting to upgrade them, to a model with the greater bandwith, sensitivity or looks, but there has been one speaker, which is my guest bedroom system that I have never upgraded,sold, or even thrown away. It is the Bose 10.2 Series 2. And while its performance is dwarfed by my larger, costier references, there is still a visual, musical allure about them which prevents me from getting rid of them. They are only driven by a 50wpc yamaha reciever and a 10 year old pioneer 10dsk cd changer. Its just so appealing as a low-end system that I cant get rid or it. Anyone else have these boses that they cant part with?
