How come those Boses weren't in your post under the Best System You've Ever Built thread, Craig? Same reason as my Fishers?

First I had my EARS(free by God)
Than I had one-box tube radiola(record-player, tuner, amp and speakers)
Than I had S50 monitors(made in Russia and designed in Germany) don't know price in dollars.
Than I had S90 monitors(also made in Russia and designed in Germany)
The two of above stated have capital letters by default.

Cool thread idea-

Bose 4.2s (~250 new)
PARADIGM ESPRIT BIPOLARs (~1250 new)
Audiostatic ES100 electrostats (1000 used)
REVEL PERFORMA F30s (~3100 new)

The 4.2s are now my HT rears with the Esprits as the mains
(added a reference CC also; maybe I'll add the reference
surrounds and Servo 15 eventually :). The Revels recently
replaced the ES100s in my 2Ch setup and I am no longer using
the stats. Actually, if anyone wants em (for a small amount
of cash or a cool trade), let me know :).
