Personal speaker evolution

Very impressive lists for some of you folks.

I'll have to shamefully admit that i too have owned Blose: 301's, 501's, 601's and 901's. Had my first component system when i was 13 and that included the 301's. It only got worse from there until i finally saw the light. That is, the lights that they use in some of their crossovers. YES, they do use lightbulbs in some of the older models. That and some of the worst wiring you'll ever see. Sean

Home made-$300 estimate
Sansui-$50 (Don't recall model name-does it matter?,but had 10 " chrome-frame woofers)
Cerwin Vega AT-15-paid $800.00 full list price, and was proud of it, still in garage. Some day...
DUNLAVY V-$9500 (demo pair) currently in main system
DUNLAVY II- $1200 (used) Bought for bedroom system, but now using as rear surrounds

I basically went from worst to great (IMO)speakers. No inbetween.

You know what's great about this thread is it reveals the approx age of the posters based on what their first few speakers were! I'm glad to see we do have some younger members of this insane club, but the majority seem to be, like me, Boomers, ie 50's babies.
