I started out about 25 years ago with Boston Acoustics speakers when I only had a Yamaha receiver and CD player. When I started with high-end equipment about 16 years ago I first went with Paradigm towers. Then I purchased Martin-Logan Aeon which I had for close to 10 years. Next was Magnepan 1.7, followed by Thiel 2.7. I kept the Maggies in storage and put the Thiels in a secondary system when I purchased Quad ESLs (2805). I loved the Quads but they did not appeal to my wife because of the space they took in the family room. Then I discovered YG Acoustics Carmel. I was smitten. I sold the Thiels and the Quads. I put the Carmels in my secondary system. My primary system now has a pair of YG Kipod 2 speakers. I picked up the YG speakers on the used market for about 25% of the cost of a new pair. I do not know where I will go from here and I do not think I will ever part with the Maggies.
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?
