Personal speaker evolution

Update: When I last left this thread (8/02) I had owned Thiel CS 2.3's. Since then I owned VR-4JR's for three years. Now, I own a pair of single driver speakers from commonsenseaudio.com: Lowther 2.8 Ambience.

I started in 1976 with some speakers from Team electronics. I think the brand was Atlantis? I was 16 and within 6 months I had went through every speaker they sold and ended up with with Bose 901s the best thing they had. I had the stands but eventually hung them from chains from my ceiling and when I crakned AC/DC they would swing because of the massive amounts of air coming from the ports in the back. I thought they sounded great and they went pretty loud. I had those for about 2 years and then I built a huge pair of speakers using Gauss 15" woofers in 6 cubic foot ported boxes. For mids I used JBL wooden horns hooked up to JBL 2461 midrange drivers and JBL2405 slot tweeters in their own seperate boxes. Now I had the same speakers that the bands were using to make the music. They were bi-amped with a yamaha power amp for the bass and a NAD integrated for the high end all running through passive and electronic crossovers. I was 18 and didn't have a car but EVERYBODY partied at my house!! LOL. With only 35 more watts per channel than with the bose I now had concert level decibles and I realized how bad the bose not only sucked watts but how bad they sounded. Then came marriage, kids, and the big speakers went in to storage. B&W 601 for years, then Totem Sttaf, and now I have JMR Offrandes, but I have the bug and I have been looking for some floorstanders that will get down to the low 20's. P.S. I sold the Bose for what I paid for them after owning them for 2 years and I just sold all of the individual components to the speakers I built in 1976 on Ebay.
