Personal speaker evolution

My speaker list left off with Nearfield Pipedream 924's. I have now replaced them with a pair of Consensus Passions. These are by far the best speakers I have ever owned. Wonderful when mated to the Edge NL 10.2

1975-Bose 901 Series III, may have been Series II. 1976- BES Geostatic SM120 together with Infinity Monitor Jr. 1977- Infinity QLS-1. 1982 through 2004 various homebuilt designs including a 24"x30" rectangle "woofer in the window" using voice coil and magnet assembly from the QLS woofer. Got to hear a pair of MG-1's in 1982 and spent the next decade trying to duplicate with dynamic drivers. Actually made some pretty good sounding speakers and some really pretty ones but never achieved the sense of reality that I heard from the Magnepans. In 2004 I gave up and bought 1.6's. Currently 3.6's in 5.2 setup with MMG's around the room and a pair of homemade dipole woofers. Will replace these with DWM's as budget permits.
