Personal speaker evolution

1971-- Pioneer CS-77
1990-- JBL L19
2012-- JBL G300

The last are a somewhat rare 3- way which I stole for $240 delivered. I am new to the audiophile community but these sound great with my Denon DRA 395. I cannot say enough about Denon SLDC.

35ish years ago - Sansui...sorry can't remember model or cost

1984 - Infinity RS 4's at $1400.00 new - still have them / downstairs wired to the plasma / perfect working order and still sound amazing - gotta love that emit tweeter!

2011 - Dynaudio DM 2/7's - upstairs - main listening room / very impressed for the $$ - bought new at about $800.00

started by cobbling anythig that was free. But did buy a realistic solo 103 raw speaker to play with. Also a pair of Utah 8 0r 10 shortly thereafter.
Next, 3 way with a Lafayette 12 woofer, University CM8 (?) midrange & a Lafayette 3x9 (?) horn tweeter.

Next (1969) the keeper, Altec 511b/802d (later upgraded to 808-8a)& 2 416a in a somewhat large infinite baffle.

Also along the way: Onkyo 25, Altec 834a (dual woofers & horn tweeter) JBL L100 (with vertical layout, not staggered) Jensen TF 3B with ratty enclosures, Bozak Ba 199c(?) finally a (project) Altec (late model) with 2 8" carbon fiber woofers
(bad surrounds) All of the above get occasional use.
