Trying to get a feel for how long do here typically people keep their existing equipment and or how frequently they upgrade.

For example, I have SVS Ultra speakers for almost two years, however I purchased them after owning AR speakers about for 14 years.

I have owned my Panasonic 60-VT60 for 4 years. I've heard that people now upgrade TV's approximately every 7 years.

Owned by Pioneer Pioneer Elite SC-63 for about 5 years. Owned my Pioneer Kuro FD 5020 for almost 8 years.
 
I have my current system for almost 2 years and appart from my stereo receiver I don't see me upgrading anytime soin.

I've got equipment older than many posters. Starting from 66.
 
My Onky 939 is about 17 years old and now is used as an amp. Audio processing was upgraded a number of years ago along with a need for HDMI.Main speakers and Yam amps are somewhat older.
My itch is in check when I look at the $$$ signs. ;) :D

My LCR speakers are 17 years old. Everything else in my system is less than 3 years old. The next things on my upgrade list are a new subwoofer and I do really really want an OLED tv...
 
I just got through upgrading everything. I went big with the intention of not making any more major upgrades for a long, long time. I'll probably get a new receiver when the next big new thing is out or I need to upgrade to the next hdmi iteration. As it is I'm set for at least the next decade, I hope...
 
My first set of Pioneer floor standers is around 20 years old. I've got a Kenwood receiver that is about 17. KLH sub the same age.

Everything else is newer...and much better.
 
I just keep it until it dies. I have five systems, the least used room gets the oldest/least useful gear. I still have more, but ran out of rooms :)

Do you ever watch movies and listen music in the rooms with older equipment ?
 
My RBH WM-30's are 10 years old and Phil 3's are 5 I believe... and I'd be younger than any gear older than '85 :cool:

I use the three main fairly modern setups for both audio/video (living room, bedroom, workshop), but never incorporated video into my older audio setups since they have no particular video capabilities. The other two rooms generally don't have a video display in any case, so they're usually just music, unless I take the small tv from the workshop and put it in one of those rooms if I'll be doing some project in them for a while....

I almost bought the same Denon (5803?) you have when I was still shopping. That thing looks like a beast.

I've got a 4520 and a 3808....both have decent amp sections....but from what I've read about the 5803/5805 they would be nice to play with, too....

The 4520 is the one I was looking at. I looked at quite a few and I always forget what model you have for some reason.
