My modest list:
JBL L110 - (bought new, wish I had never sold them)
Monitor Audio MA 700 Gold - (after many years one woofer went bad. I was naïve enough at the time to think I could not repair/replace. Foolishly sold them but they had me hooked on British 2-way Stand mounted speakers)
North Creek Audio Borealis - (customer made two way speaker similar to Proac Response 2.5. I could never get them to work in my room/system)
Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures - (traded the North Creek's for these. Tried really hard to like them, but again, in my room they just did not work. I moved them into a large room and they sounded fantastic, but that was not the room they needed to be in)
Dynaudio Audience 42 - (These are amazing little speakers. Very musical and dynamic. I have them in a second system and will never sell them.
Harbeth C7 III - (Now we are talking. Bought used on a late night whim. Loved them. They worked wonderfully in my room in my system. I added a JL Audio D110 sub to round out the bottom end.)
Harbeth M30.1 - My current speaker. They are wonderful speakers. They are an improvement over the C7 but not by a great deal. I could have happily lived with the C7s but had an opportunity to get a great overall deal on new 30.1s while selling my C7s for more than I paid. Still using the JL Audio sub as well. It is very tight and fast, so it can keep up with the Harbeths.
So you can tell that I gravitate toward refined 2-way speakers. To my ears they are a perfect, effective and pure sound.
