You can only keep one pair of speakers on the list

SO, I have been told that my small collection of gear needs to go and I can only keep one pair of speakers. I will have the chance to build my collection again but for now I only get to keep ONE pair. SO, here you go guys, I would like to hear ALL of your opinions and why.
Lets forget about what I will be powering them with and so on and just hear about what you would keep if you could only keep one pair. They are all in great shape.

1. Phase Technology PC-1000
2. Polk SDA2b
3. Teledyne Acoustic Research AR9ls (with i mod)
4. Mirage 1295is

LOL, you might be on to something there since she is just a girl friend, not married yet... hope this thread stays private. he he he I do love the polks, but man these acoustic research sound great, but so do the phase techs, with such fast and accurate bass response, but the Mirage sound so... REAL... but I can only keep one.. hmm.... dump the girl and keep them all... hmmm.. >:) lol

So would the speakers ever declare that you can only see one girl? And what is she getting rid of/reducing of hers? I do hope there's a comparable requirement & response for both of you...

(And one last thing - who/what have you known & loved longer? If you do have to sacrifice and orphan your loved toys I hope there's an appropriate response...)

i think black and white reasoning/quasi-ultimatuums doesn't work for me so in the spirit of compromise keep the favorite 2 pair..ha

WOW, this is getting intense... I really dont want to / cant go into to the personal aspect of everything, but I do agree with all of you in that I should keep what most pleases me... (which might mean I keep all of it.. he he) but I do think that I will be keeping the acoustic research speakers and the polk audio sda for now. I will do my best to clear everything else out and start over. I might be starting over in more than just my audio if things go the way they are going.

This is easy. You like them all for one thing or another, but you really like the Mirages. I say SELL ALL 4 PAIRS and get a pair of Mirage's recently discontinued flagship, the OMD-28s in rosewood. Originally $7500/pair on closeout for $2600. Linear down to the mid-20s at least.
