2004 Augmented by Magnepan MMG W and MMG C for surround sound $600
2004 Added Adcom 5802 to power the 0.6QR and offload the Denon 3803. That is what the Maggies have been waiting for - begging for- for so many years. Now I have a room filled with the most glorious sounds. You fellow panel heads out there will know what I mean. You cone heads will have to use your imaginations. :-D Any fellow Maggie afficionados, if they aren't already singing to your complete satisfaction, get the highest-output mosfet amp you can afford. Maggies love it. I recommend 5802 <$900 used.

1993 ALR Nummer 3 stand speakers (DM1600 = $1000)

I bough my first speakers from money I have earned during summer job (working in a moving company for 6 weeks). The speaker were ALR Nummer 3 stand speakers in D'Appolito configurationfrom a small German company. They were not even that great for the Rock music that I listened to at the time.

1998 Mission 751 freedom monitors

I started loving these speakers back in 1993 when I first heard them at a dealer in Germany. Somehow could not convince myself to go "back" from a stand speaker to a smaller bookshelf. After a move in 1998 I finally had the excuse to get them. I have been going through several changes in the surrounding equipment, I have never regreted these though. Probably the best bookshelfs Mission has ever made. These are the reason for me becoming an audiophile in first place.

Klipsch KG2s $250 New - I bought these back in 1984

I got interested in audio again a about 1 1/2 years ago and went from:

Paradigm Studio 20s, $800 New - Good but wanted something more refined.

Spendor S1s $500 Used - I liked these alot, IMO it had nice mid range but wasn't as accurate as my current speaker.

SF Concertos $1100 Used - I absolutely love these, I need to improve my amp though to get the most out of them
