First post here on Audiogon. Been a lurker for awhile. So here goes.

A pair of old AR bookshelves. I think AR 2's or 3's. Late 60's. Couple hundred.
A pair of Ohm L bookshelves. 1978. Couple hundred. College graduation present.
A pair of Polk Monitor 10's. 1980. $350. Got a deal 'cause my buddy worked at Eardrum in Cambridge, MA.
Upgraded to 10B's by replacing a blown tweeter w/ the newer version in Late 80's.
A pair of Klipsch SB-1 bookshelves. 2002. $250. Got 'em to augment the sound of my TV. Not really for HT.
A pair of B&W CDM9NT's. 2002 (got 'em a month ago). $2400. Stereo listening only. Sound great.
Marantz speakers
Ohm walsh 2 $800
Kef 104 ($1,200) demo
Martin Logan Quest z ( $4600 new)
Norh 6.9 rewired with siltech(speakers $950,siltech
wire $350plus $65 labor)
Andra Eggleston($6500)

I love my logan for maybe nine years now, but 6.9 norh
is sometime my favorite for the price they are so
good and musical, it amaze that they would measure up
with expensive speaker,I like their design too, With
andra bought use still waiting for the stratos monoblock,
upgrade from Klaus, The andra even with playing them
it made me feel this are the speaker I would spend for
a long time, they are gorgeous but It would probably take a
year before I can get the best of of this speaker, it
take time to highly synergize this babies..
Only 25, so the list is short...

Update:

fisher - well, it was a start.

Boston Acoustics - really, not bad.

Apogee Stage - now we're talking - My first step to the perfect sound

Apogee Duetta Signature - you will think you have the greatest speaker in the world. The Apogee, like other dipoles, projects a seamless image of the performer before you. Unlike other dipoles, the Duetta fleshes out the musicians and singers, giving them tangible body, and the Duetta ribbon bass is to die for.

Apogee Scintilla - Major reviewer Ken Kessler owns one. He says the Scintilla is, " ...The antipasto which most speakers dare not follow" in Kessler's review of the Perigee (Apogee evolution), reviewed after a listen to his own Scintilla in his daunting listening room.
