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!

This thread is extremely repetitive in nature. Obviously Larr was VERY bored today. I would say that he is a pretty angry and bitter lately as well, based on his nasty, rude and mean comments on the music thread and here. Calling someone out on what speaker they own has to be one of the most juvenile posts I have ever read.
Now, on to the specifics of this tread.
What speaker do you currently own? Read people's system page.
What music do you favor? There must be tons of threads on this.
How old are you? Read the Who are you thread
Name all the speakers you have owned. Read the speaker progression thread
How many hours do you listen? There must be a thread on this.
Glasses question ? I don't wear them, and sometimes I close my eyes if I am tired,or I want to focus on the music.
I am almost positive there is a goosebumps/music thread as well. As for the ladies, I have found that nibbling on their ears, kissing the neck etc. works wonders.
So if your that bored Larr, just read the archives, you will find most, if not all of questions answered there.
As for your anger issues, may I suggest paintball?
You seem to be a respected member of the community here. If you want people's continued respect, don't belittle people with rude comments.
AND spare us from repetitve threads such as this.
Just a WAG but you may just be hearing the death rattle of a frustrated speaker manufacturer who is having a hard time finding a market for his speakers. No one in his right mind pisses on his potential market base even if he laughs and calls it rain. Seems so anyway.
......I'm afraid to answer ! .....although it appears that there has been a retreat !
I currently own a pair of Legacy Focus the original models from 1999-2000 era. I guess I rate them a 8.9. They are unmodified and I run them biamped with a 4 channel Citation 7.1 amplifier.

I am always looking for audio gear but to describe what I want in terms of sound quality is tough. I guess I am looking for something that makes me happy, something that makes me say wow.

I listen to 80s rock, Jazz, Instrumental, Funk, Soul.
I am 47 years old and before these speakers I had Genesis 500s ( I rate them 8.5) and before that I had Polk SDAs (8.0) and before that I had home made speakers (college days) with a coffee table sub woofer and tower satellites. Before that I had RTR3 way speakers in high school. Those are too far back for me to rate.

Some weeks I dont listen at all, then others if I am home (alone) I may listen all day. Either casually while doing other stuff or serious listening seated. I dont wear glasses except reading glasses.

I am always looking for impact and realistic effect of a concert so I generally prefer multi driver speakers with lots of cone area and I dont mind powered sub sections. But I have to feel the music the bass must move me or else its not concert like. I was a performing musician through college in jazz as well as brass choirs and classical music groups so I feel that I know what various instruments are supposed to sound like and that is what drives me.
Maybe he was drunk and finally passed out? Speaking of, I need a refill after reading this thread...
