jbcrespomn,
Great history you have with speakers, and a great current collection. I also once owned the Focus Audio FS 888 speakers. They didn't work for me, but they were the most beautiful speakers that I ever owned with the light colored burl veneer, perfectly matched on both speakers. Next in line for good looks (and better sound ) were the Spendor 9/1.

Interesting memory test here. . . .

Boston Acoustics HD5 (high school graduation gift in 1991, got me through college and beyond and frankly I've not enjoyed anything since then more, just differently, but maybe that's just nostalgia)
Krix bookshelves (forget model name, maybe Equinox)
Meadowark Kestrel Hotrod
Dynaco A25 (in a secondary system)
Meadowlark Shearwater
Adire HE10 (built from kit so I could mess with low power DHT amps)
Proac Response 1SC
GR Research bookshelves (amazing bargain, a friend has them now)
Meadowlark Kestrel 2
Spendor S5e
Spendor S6 (very briefly)
JM Reynaud Trente
Devore Gibbon 3
Focus Audio FS78SE
JM Reynuad Offrande Supreme V2 (midlife crisis purchase, was planning on them being my last speakers, but of course I'm an audiophile, so . . .)
