Personal speaker evolution

~1975: Pioneer 10" woofer, ~2.5" DOME midrange, ~2" cone tweeter. Part of a system I bought for $400 in HS. These served me until 1984!
1984: 3D Acoustics sat/passive sub system, excellent for $500.
1994? B&W DM601 original series $400, ran 3D sub with old Yamaha A-700 integrated amp, drove sats with Dynaco SCA-35.
2002: Triangle Titus 202EX (upgraded tweeter cap in 2005). NHT SubOne powered sub. Now have Bottlehead 300B Paramounts.

as you can see i tend to keep speakers for a long time

1977 JBL (no idea of model number)
1994 Klipsch kg3.5 (now in HT system)
2009 Dynaudio C1

well, I'm a Dyn addict.

It started with Dynaudio Audience 42. It impressed me after an indepth comparison with the equivalent B&W (too much bass), Focal (too thin) or the Dyn Audience floorstander (forgot the model, 62 or 72).

After a year or so I jumped to Dyn Contour 1.3 mk2. An eye opener especially in terms of bass.

Now I'm using Confidence 3, bought it used as I can't afford C1. I think I'm settled with the Dyn sound at the moment.

Perhaps for my next journey, I'm gonna try ribbon speakers. next time, I guess
