@inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are

@inna. You said: "Tell me what speakers you choose and why and I'll tell you who you are."
ESL57. Love their see-through transparency. Fire away!

1) Vandersteen 2Ci in a semi-treated living room mostly for solo mid-high SPL listening, all kinds of music.

2) Martin Logan Aerius i in the large family room, set well far apart and guests love the room filling crisp sound. 

3) DIY back-loaded horn w/Fostex FF165K in a smaller acoustically treated upstairs room used in an analog-only system. e.g., turntable, reel2reel, cassette player, for casual late night low volume listening.

Systems 1 and 2 have separate preamp/amp but can share the same source(s) so we can play the same music downstairs in both rooms when we have lots of guests.

Hi everybody!

This could be a funny thread if some people ( it looks like inna doesn't want to do it! ) give their reading of what kind of person we are considering our speakers.

I read on this forum since a few years and I generally find people's comments infomative and interesting; hi-fi is such an interesting hobby. So I decided to jump in this Forum hoping to share some of my "very humble knowledge" and true passion. I will try to introduce myself in another thread ...


Like bdp24, I have a pair of Tympani IVa ( and also a pair of IV ) ...

( as a side note, I am very happy about Magnepan reintroducing that big layout with the 30.7 ... )

I was hoping for:

"Vandys, huh....I'll bet you drive a late model Volvo with a 'merican 2nd...house, mid-80's 'ranch', landscape 'in progress' (but whose isn't?), reno'd kitchen..."

I was hoping for: Quad ESL57 - You lot are all the same. Thinking you’re better than the rest of us with your midband female jazz vocals and your DIY cables. Your car is paid for and serviced every 6000 and there are boxes of screws of every sort arranged in oily boxes deep in your basement workshop. You love your dog more than your wife because he gets you.
