Personal speaker evolution

Cool topic.
1.Monteverdi Stereo/8-track system. Actually made by Zenith, which really raises the quality level. Ha.
$-Christmas present

2. DLK 1's. $-Probably around $100.

3. Borrowed a set of early 70's model Jensen's. Had those along with the DLK's in my bedroom. My mom was very happy. Not.

4. Boston Acoustics and I don't remember the model $140. Thought I had really moved up in the world. Wanted 3 way speaker. Thought I had them. Foam went bad so I went to replace it and found out that that it wasn't a woofer at all. It was a 10" passive radiator beneath a 6" mid/woofer.

5. Moved into surround sound with some Klipsch SP-1's ($950)with built in subs and RC-3 center($379). Used the foamless Boston's for rears.

6. Replaced Boston's with B&W Dm 303's. $300

7. Paradigm Studio 40 V3 (2 pair for front and rear $1100/pr) CC470 V3 center $749. PW1000 Sub $1K.

8. Don't know yet, but the upgrade bug is bad. Really bad.

Just another word, after 30years the Monteverdi system is still playing 8-track and all in my dads street rod shop.
I'm not sure it doesn't sound any worse. But then I'm not sure it could sound any worse.
