Personal speaker evolution

mid 1970's til 1990's AKG headphones
small Canadian company Enigma bookshelf speakers
(enough to get me through high school/university )

2001 - 2004
crappy iPod earphones, replaced with Shure in-ear phones
Focal JM labs 706S bookshelf speakers (secondary system in kitchen area)

2004-present Kharma Grand Ceramique Midi's with Enigma (finally have a dedicated room to upgrade speakers substantially -- now can listen without disturbing the rest of the house ! )

Pioneer
JVC
Klipsch KG4
B&W DM602 S2
Martin Logan Scenario
next? Von Schweikert VR4 JR

Marantz, JBL J-320, Martin Logan Aerius i. Next, maybe a pair of ML Grotto subs for the Aerius i's - if I like how they integrate. The Von Schweikert are a strong candidate also.

Pioneer CS9900e used $30
Bose 601 used $75
Klipsch KG4's used, freebie from neighbor ( his wife said they were too loud LOL
Altec 604 8G in factory 620A oak cabinets ($150) got these about 5 days ago.

Can you tell I am on a pretty tight budget?

Satated around 1994.

KLH $100
