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?

Hi everyone,
well yes! I think I can live the rest of my life in the company of my Vandersteen speakers.. I have a pair of Quatro powered by a class A Pass
Sublime coupled! i enjoy doing experiments by changing the source dac, the rest of hifi system will not be touched ..
best regards
My first post on this site, although active on another forum for years.
I have had Ohm C2’s since ’77. Upgraded the woofers from Ohm. Also ADS L880 since new in ’85. But hav added and subtracted speakers in recent years. Maybe some modern speakers would be nice.
Lansche Audio Lansche Plasma 4.1 | Full-Range | Covina, California 91724 | Audiogon

This looks exactly same as mine,although I do not have mine on sale.

The speaker is a real beauty (nice WAF) and work well with SET amp even in good size listening room due to high efficiency (off 99db/w, real 95db/w still pretty high).

If you have nice SET and spare 17,500$, you can enjoy spooky vocal out of it due to plasma tweeter.

It also give excellent dynamics due to two active 10 inch woofers.
Tomic, as much as I LOVE my Quatro's, I need Richard's M5 to make them sing even more ;)....

I have to say that I got to hear the full System 9 by Vandersteen (7's with sub 9's) and his large amp.  (yes, the preamp will be very special and not what anyone has on the market as you know).

As for server, call me tomorrow if you can.  I am very dialed into the digital as I can't do analog anymore with the MS.  To hard to keep cleaning and getting up to use the tone arm.  That's why I sold y9u the Basis TT ;). man I miss it.
