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?

OMG, some of you resemble junkies, always on the hunt for the next fix. *LOL*  Changing drivers as often as you change your underwear....

I'm not even going to try to show my cards in this poker game.  I'll just keep on trying to do the impossible with nothing. ;)

In 1987 I bought a used pair of Spica TC-50s (with stands). Still have them. Last year I bought a one owner pair of Magnepan 1.5 QRs, and use them exclusively with the Spica's as a back up should anything arise. Also have owned Grado SR 125s for most of that period so the kids (now grown) and wife could sleep while I've played...

BNS (1980-1991)
JBL (1998-)
MB Quad 1000 (1998-)

Haven' found a decent speaker under 2k that is better than the MB Quad, so although they are old, I'll keep them for now.
