Our first home speakers are still sitting in our apartment after 15 years! I can’t say that we are using them for audio anymore. Rather they have become useful shelf props for hiding the wife’s woodwork equipment when she’s not using them!
We actually spent quite a lot of money on them, even though they were 2nd hand. Unfortunately, we didn’t know that they weren’t so great at that time. We were setting up our first home, so we tried to cut a few corners. That was one of the dumber moves!
