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?

Yes, the Impulse H1's are indeed one very fine never to be sold loudspeaker and are the best horn speaker I have heard to date. Same goes for the Oris 150's to a slightly lesser degree than the 1's. The Klipschorn is not as good as the H1's or the Oris 150's, it has the potential to be a truly excellent loudspeaker, but not in its unfettered guise. IMHO. Love all my horns though!..............lol
