Haven't been "fired up" in quite a while, but?

Staring at a pair of Dali 8 speakers in my shop. I bought them in 1985. Still have the receipt for the purchase, someplace. Paid $585 - direct from the US importer.

Saw a post somewhere, where somebody is/was trying to sell for $3400. Maybe they are on to something? Crazy good speakers, but I'd need to re-foam the woofers...

The current piece that’s been in continuous use the longest is the Luxman SQ-N100, for 8 years. What had the longest life prior to that was my Allison 3 corner speakers, which I had for probably 28 years. They were great speakers.

Past - 28 years Dahlquist Dq-10's (towards the end not always in the primary system)

Current -
7-1/2 years Wilson Alexandria X-2 Series 2

My wife... :laughin:
