Personal speaker evolution

Ok here we go:

1) Realistic bookshelf speakers--$25 at a garage sale
2) Bose 401 (the triangular ones made to go in a corner--perfect for my college apartment)
3) Infinitis of some sort from the late 1980s
4) Klipsch from early 1990s (maybe RF-25s?)
5) Definitive Technology BP 2000TL (a little boomy maybe, but they made some serious music when I was a little younger and wilder)
6) Vandersteen 1C (loved the middle and high end on those--so open and transparent)
7) Kef XQ-40 (wonderful taught, powerful bass and nice full sound, but the tweeter was not my favorite)
8) Merlin VSM-MMi - my current speakers. Loving them dearly right now.

So the question now, is 8 really enough?

From beginning to present:

78-81 Sound Research
81-84 Smaller Advent Loudspeaker
85-86 Jamo Compact 50's & 70's & Triad Subwoofer

2013 Omega Grande 8 (re-acquired)
2014 Canton Plus S
2014 Paisley Reseach AE-500 (top 5 owned)

To the best of my recollection give or take a few months/yrs

Funny as I loved reading your speakers owned. Here goes mine:
69- 3 way store made from a high end dealer. Not bad at all
70 something Polk Monitor 10B with matching stands and cables, lol.
92 Proac Super Towers (currently selling if anyone has interest). Still using in main system with Ayre AX7e, Music Hall DAC, CAL Audio LAB Delta transport. Just bought Vandy Treo's, but these are sounding unreal. New drivers are awesome
92 Proac Studio 1's mk 2. Smaller version of the Super Towers and they are newly refurbished professionally done. They match the Super Towers and could be perfect for a home theater set up by adding the new/used Studio center channel
NEW to be delivered Vandersteen Treo's...can't wait.

Klipsch KG2's
Klipsch Heresy II's
Epicure 2.0's
Dynaudio 52se

Bose 201 to Platinum Audio 808s (loved them-had them for 14 years) to Jamo S606-home theater to Canton GLE 490.2 and now Quad 22L2s.
