Funny. I met a woman on line, over a decade ago. Took her to lunch. Had a great time. Invited her over for our second date. My system is front and center, as soon as you walk into the room 21 x 36 x 12 (open beam ceilings). As soon as she walked in the door she looked around and said "this house is decorated for a man". That was our last date. I probably told her we weren't going to get along, and asked her to leave. Pitty, she had great legs, too

@tweak1

You asked great legs to leave over her comment on your decorating?  lol, shame on you.

There was more to the whole story. I did the short version to keep from writing a book.
From past experience I saw the future coming. thought it best to exit ..... stage left.

and the speakers were (to stay on topic)

Acoustat SPECTRA III ESLs.

Not gaudy in my opinion. sounded great to me in ’89. Pretty good looking and massive panels at 66" tall and 32" wide each.

I don't recall which speakers I had at the time of the intruder, but I did own Accoustat 2 + 2s, sans sox (I loved the look) with 4! servo amps, which I slightly modified with the help of a fellow Accoustat lover+ the medallion interfaces. Although I tried a number of SS amps, I much preferred the servos, but they were very unstable. Long after I sold them I heard of a guy who was able to resolve that. I built adjustable outriggers which got them off the ground some 5" with fore and aft adjustment
