What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?


Used audio market is not the same again since on-line marketplace was born in 1995 (Fleabay).   What is your speaker *ownership* history since then?

WOW!!! - I'm really having feelings of inadequacy !

Here's my very meager list - since 1982
- Magnat Ribbon 5's (2 Channel) had them for 33 years - re foamed + rebuilt the crossover and tweaked the bass port 
- B & W - small ones for L/R + Rear + Center Channel (Surround)
- Tannoy Mecury F4, F2 and Center Channel (Surround)
- Gershman Acoustics Sonogram (2 Channel)
 
Never found anything to replace the Magnat's until the Sonograms came along i.e.  that were in my "snack bracket"

And since then - I have only found one pair that impressed me from Avantgarde, but at $35000 - they'll have to wait until I sell the boat

Unfortunately for audio - I have other expensive hobbies - Photography, Boating, Skiing and travel.

So for me - it's all about spreading the wealth :-)

Green Mountain Calisto's (great monitor)

Bozak 302's

Spendor sp1/2e

Wilson Watt 8's (Current and favorate)

1st speaker Energy Pro 22 ca. 1983 (still own today)
2nd speaker Bose Acoustimass (for rental condo while overseas as expat)
3rd ATC SCM 20 ca. 1995
4th ATC SCM 100 ca. 2005
5th ATC EL150ASL 2015

Apart from the Bose and my studio gear (Genelec and JBLs) - all the speakers sound identical except for improved bass response in the larger models and better mid range in the three ways.

In essence the speakers have no sound at all. ATC are the most clear, accurate and natural sounding speaker I have been able to find. I would be delighted to find something better and will keep looking and auditioning until I die. Hopefully one day some designer can improve on ATC (which have made incremental improvements but largely remain the same in design and concept for 30+ years.) So far others have only come close - unfortunately always falling short in one or two characteristics in sound quality although often delivering better value (pretty good sound for much less money).
