Personal speaker evolution

Dynaco from the time I was in junior high until I got out of college in 1986

1986 - 2009: Snell E-II

2009 - present:

Soliloquy 6.5 (owned them for a few months)
Merlin TSM-SE (owned them for a few weeks)
Silverline SR-17.5 (owned them for 7 or 8 months)

Silverline Bolero (just got them and plan to keep them about as long as I did the Snell E-II's! Will rework the crossover with Duelund components at some point though.

Sony mini system, hooked up my Dad's Sony bookshelf speakers from the early 70's-91'

I find it interesting where the original poster advanced from buying new to used. I just bought my first ever pair of brand new ML's, but only because they'd been purchased by the original owner and were never unsealed. Hand me downs is the way to go for anything audio. Can you say depreciation?

I prefer not to say "depreciation". My program just isn't designed to absorb that kind of a loss.

My speaker progress has taken me through many changes, some of which are listed back on page 3 or 4 of this thread. Today I have a pair of mid/high horns mounted on top of an old pair of JBL woofer cabinets. I've had them for about 20 months now and I'm pretty certain the search is over. I don't even imagine that there is something better out there for me. What a great feeling!!
