What do you currently own as loudspeakers?

This is sort of a survey as much as anything. I am constantly amazed at what people buy, and why they do so. I'll frame this in this regard by asking several questions:
What speakers do you currently own--Brand, Model, and any refinements/mods?

Grading on a scale of one TO 10,(10 being "I'm in love" one being, OMG this is really a shit speaker!) rate them.

If you're looking, what do you WANT to achieve?

What music do you favor?

What's missing from ALL your speakers you've owned?

How old are you?

Name all speakers you've owned...and rate THEM TOO! 1/10

How many hours a day/week/do you listen?

Do you take off your glasses when you listen; close your eyes?

Last time you got goose bumps: music, performer, why!

This will tell us a lot about our people on Audiogon...and LADIES, if you're out there, don't think that every man on Audiogon won't be thrilled and pleased to hear what gives you girls goosebumps!

Thanks and let's play!

Ok I give My Dynaudio C1's a 9.995. I like to listen to almost anything but prefer Classic Rock - New Age - Jazz but not in any order. What I've missed in my previous speakers is prat - detail and most importantly to me is 'air' between the instruments and vocals. Soundstage and depth I contribute to the 'air'. I listen about 40 hrs/week and no I am not retired. I am 56 but stopped counting when I was 29. I don't need glasses but it is nice when I close my eyes (C1's in my opinion are far from 'pretty' but friends have disagreed) for I can hear so much around me without any visual distraction. I guess I'm too old to remember goosebumps - sorry.

All that being said I will be the first to say it is all about system synergy. Not just speakers or a recording in my opinion.

Xtil6, that was a 'good to really good' response to a sincere question.

System synergy IS the answer...seriously mediocre speakers can be pretty magic when mated with 'really good and complementary components'....

THANK YOU INTELLIGENT RESPONDER,
I GIVE YOU A 7.6 on the respondent score card....

7.6 - You have to be kidding. That was a 9.5. Consider the way your question is worded. It reads as if it is the speaker you are asking about. I'll go as far as to add the room is as huge of a factor as system synergy. That should bring to me a 9.9 Take it or leave it

Uh, based on Lrsky's responses thus far, I think those who respond are looking for a gut punch.
