    Funny thing, after a while things just get comfortable...don't get me wrong, I love looking and fantasizing...but the idea of going thru all the arguments again to get to know each other just doesn't appeal...I have so much time invested....and not enough left to do it again.

    Valencias are great speakers--and with some mods they can be upgraded and made even better!!

    Agreed--my wife and I are together for the long haul but looking is always fun. Listening is fun too....

    Nice pair!

    Back to the speakers (as much as I enjoyed the vintage cheeks). When you look at the price of a model 19 in good to excellent condition and compare it to what you can buy new, the value becomes obvious. Attending a lot of audio shows, the prices floor me. I'd much rather pay $2K for a nice pair of vintage Altec than the crazy prices for today's "high end" speakers.
