Personal speaker evolution

This is a lot of fun thinking back

1985 EPI T/E 100. $200 new. 2-way sealed. I was 15, saved all year for these along with a Yamaha R-3 receiver, and hooked to Technics turntable. Ah the joy.

1993 Klipsch Forte, $800 used. Still have them. They rock. Also purchased a Adcom 555 amp and preamp that year.

2007 Totem Arro $800 used. Still using the venerable Adcom amps. I also had to purchase my 2nd CD player ever, a Cambridge 640C. My original one from 1988 was a Denon 1500. Started having tracking problems 19 years later.

Late 60's Jensen 12'' three way speaker homemade enclosure with burlap Grills. The burlap was held in strong wind and bleach was thrown at them(Groovy)

Mid-late 70's Sonab OA -12's. 2 way with 4 tweeters(2 towards the listener, 1 towards the back wall & 1 @ 125*s forward off the side wall. The mid driver was up firing @15* s and towards a center listening position. All speakers were on the top surface covered with a heavy screen .

Early 80's Sonab OA-116. 3 way with 6 tweeters, up firing mid- driver plus down firing base driver. This was, is I still have them in my garage the drivers need rebuilding, still a favorite.

Mid-late 80's Dalquist DQ-10's mirror imaged & mylar capped, what a great speaker!!

2007 Maggie 1.6's liked em

2008 Vandersteen 3a sigs, 2Wq (pair) subs love em!!!!
