I have used two subs, the Muse 18 and then the Watch Dog.

1970's-homebuilt horribles, Infinity Qb, little metal Infinities/Ohm subwoofer, BW DM220/two giant kit subwoofers, Vandersteen 2Ce,temporarily with a Sunfire subwoofer. Found with Krell amplification, no sub needed with Vandys. Probably forgot some others. As you can see I am not a "this years model" trend follower. Finally got into a "now it sounds good, leave it the hell alone!" groove.

1967 Jensen? 12"+ cone tweeter around $200
1975 DCM Time Windows
1982 Celestion SL-6
2007 Vienna Acoustics Beethovan Baby Grands

First amp was a Scott intergrated tube amp, then Sansui, then Bryston 1B/2B combination that I'm still using.

Turntables, were Dual changer, Lux DD table and now Pro-Ject RM10 with Sumiko Blackbird.

The first I remember was a pair of 2 way Ampex circ 1968-70. Then AR 3a's for about 7 years. Then rectalinear III's. Then powered advents. Then stacked advents. Then McIntosh XR 5's (till 95). Then KEF Q 70's. Klipsch Chorus II's followed. Then Totem Staff's (maybe the best all around) Then Thiel 3.5's (mistake, too much high freq energy)
Then Magneplaner QR10's w/ B&W sub. And then Totem Model 1 sigs. Platinum Audio Solo's replaced the Model 1's. Then Energy 2.2's followed the Solo's. Then a return to the Solo's (realized they were the best!). Then took a flyer on PSB Stratus Gold's. Then Maggie MMC and then the 1.6's and currently Soliloquy 5.0i's. Oh, and a vintage system that has had JBL L100's for years.

Wow, what a sickness!

Would have to say that the Staafs and the Solo's were the best in my rig. Electronics were changed out a lot less.
Mostly these speakers were used with McIntosh, Conrad Johnson and Anthem gear.
