Personal speaker evolution

1975 - AR-3a
1985 - JSE Model 1
1998 - Coincident Conquest
2003 - B&W Nautilus 804
2003 - Coincident Total Victory

All were bought new. The JSEs and the Coincident TVs have impressed me the most

The JSEs are still in service - gave 'em to my brother-in-law - and the TVs are so good I'm not sure where I'd go from here.

Spica TC-50 Excellent!

Ohm Walsh 1 OK
Ohm Walsh 3 OK+

Spica TC-50 with 10" Velodyne sub - Excellent!

Dahlquist DQ-10 Garage sale find, pretty good but overrated without modifications.

Dahlquist DQ-20 A great budget used speaker! Smooth, unfatiguing, reasonably accurate, good lows and attractive looking. Needed refoaming. Added a Velodyne ULDB-15 which needs a custom crossover because the DQ's go way too low for the ULD's original 85hz.

Next - Will be moving the Dahlquists into the bedroom when I put together a beautiful horn/tube system.

Heathkit DIY (8" woofer, 1 3/4" paper tweeter)
AR2a
Definitive Tech BP10
B&W CDM1SE

1979-81 - Poineer 3 ways - had a carbon/graphite woofer (I was in high school in Germany when I got the hifi bug. Worked for Kenwood in the military outlets as a sales rep part time.)

81-85: Infinity RS II, purchased in Germany for $571 pair. Sold for $1500 when I returned to DC to go to college. Too big for dorm, needed money.

86-89: Used dad's Pioneer CS-88A from early 70s.

90-03: Suffered with Infinity SM #@$%#. Was into career, wife, family, didn't listen to much music although still managed to amass a decent CD collection.

October 2003: Longing for that Infinity RSII sound that is imprinted in my memory, I stumbled on Dali Grands and will live happily ever after. They don't sound like those 2 emits, 3 mids and 2 woofs that I used to have but they exceed my requirements. Purchased on Audiogon.
