Personal speaker evolution

1) Polk Audio Monitor 10B
2) Polk Audio S10
3) Polk Audio Monitor 10B -- bought them back!
4) Monitor Audio Silver S6
5) Magnepan MMG
6) North Creek Music Okara II Upgraded Project
7) Polk Audio LSi15

I absolutely love my LSi15's. I found a mint pair for sale locally for $750. They're so good that I am now off the upgrade merry-go-round (I am an audio enthusiast on a beer budget and couldn't be happier).

1. 1970-10" Marsland drivers in upturned 44qt. garbage cans
2. 1973-BIC speakers w/ tuneable bass
3. 1976-Dahlquist DQ-10s, mirrored, modded w/custom walnut stands
4. 1984-Rogers LS3/5a w/24" Celestion SL shot-filled stands
5. 1993-ProAc Response 2's on custom RixRax 22" sand-filled stands

Really sorry I sold the Dahlquists and the Rogers. Due for a change after 13 years and am going to audition 3A deCapo i, Gallo Ref-3, Von S VR4-Jr among possible others. Driving w/Concentra II.

need to amend my last post:

Bose 301's
Cerwin Vega 35's
Bose AM15
Vandersteen 2ci
Magnepan 1.6qr
Magnepan 3.6R
Gallo Reference 3's
Magnepan 3.6R's (why did I leave in the first place??)

Let's see:

I think one of my first was a Utah speaker in a vented cabinet.

When I went stereo, I got a pair of RTR 2-way speakers. I later got a pair of Marantz speakers, but didn't really care for them, so I moved to Cerwin-Vega. I upgraded to a more expensive pair of Cerwin-Vegas and had those for a while.

I did a bit of an about-face and replaced the CVs with a pair of Fried Betas, then added The Subwoofer.

Finally, I upgraded to a pair of C/3-Ls and I've been using those for around 15 years. (I must be happy with them, because I've kept them around longer than any other speakers.)

I also had a sort of side-excursion where I bought a pair of Wharfdale towers and a pair of Pinnacle towers. I got these when internet auctions were new, and I paid no more than $100 for each pair. It was too good a deal to pass up.

I'm planning to sell the Pinnacles, and the Wharfdales are down in the basement so my wife can listen to music while she does the laundry. :-)
