Personal speaker evolution

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 :).

Paradigm Monitor 3 - $345
Polk LS-70 - $500
Paradigm Studio 20 v.1 - $550
Paradigm Monitor 7 - $650
Carver AL III - $900
Paradigm Studio 20 v2 - $900
B&W CM-2 -$900
Paradigm Studio 20 v.2 - $900
B&W CDM 1NT - $1200

I know I listed the studio 20's twice, that's cause I had them twice. Actually, it was the same pair. I gave them back to the dealer to buy someting else, and then months later went back and bought the same pair. I like the CDM 1's the best out of all them, except the carvers, but I couldn't keep those because the smoke smell was too much to handle. (Got them used)

BTW, this was all in a matter of about two years. I have a bad habit of trading speakers very often........

Have stopped w/these and have changed out amps and preamps and cables incessantly instead. Got a system that works now, though, and hope to keep it intact for a while.
Putting together this list was fun! A walk down memory lane. i can still see each of the rooms and apartments I had these systems in, including my college dorm room, my little law school cottage, and various other abodes for the last 30 years. WOW! i've been at this a LONG time.
