Personal speaker evolution

1. Dynaco when I was a kid
2. Snell E-II when I got out of college
3. Soliloquy 6.5
4. Merlin TSM-SE

Current: Silverline SR17.5 with reworked crossovers - Duelund components

And no complaints about any of them!

Radio Shack DIY, ADS 310(?), Linn Kans, Activ Linn Kabers, Wisdom Audio Adreneline D75 and now the Magico V2.

When I was in junior high, I received a Christmas present of my first stereo: a Curtis-Mathes (they made TVs) with 8" two-way speakers. Terrible.

My senior year in high school, I scrimped and saved and bought by first "real" system, featuring Electro-Voice ETR-18 (12" three-way, four driver) speakers.

After graduating college, I upgraded to a pair of ADS 810 (dual 8" woofers), which served me well for about 15 years.

Then it was major upgrade to five Dunlavy speakers, SC-II's for the front left and right, with SC-1a's for center and surrounds.

Then, last month, the biggest jump yet. New electronics (Ayre) and Vandersteen 5a's for the front L+R. These will be my traveling companions for many years to come

Happy listening.

Dawg-Fish, love the 5a's. I keep thinking about moving to those, what a great speaker. But then I would have to change all of my upstream components too. Well, maybe that's a great plan, a whole new system!!

Macdad -- That's essentially what I did -- a whole new system in one rather significant bite. Seriously upgraded my two-channel capabilities with the Ayre stack and 5a's. Will say I got what I consider a screaming deal on demos from my local dealer. They've been "tuned" to my room now and I'm loving them.
Happy listening.
