When I first began this hobby almost 20 years ago, I started with a pair of Magnepan 1.5's. I then went back and forth between this level of Maggies and a pair of Snell Type J's and Fried speakers. But had Maggie 1.5 QR for most of the time. Then two years ago on this thread I wrote,

"I have evolved a couple times since I last posted. From the Thiel 2.3 I went to the Vonschweikert VR2 (1 yr.) and then the Vonschweikert VR4JR. I think I am done evolving for a while. I can't afford to anymore. I love these jr's though!"

Since I wrote that I have sold my JR's and now have a pair of Lowther 2.8 Ambience speakers. These are single driver speakers -- very high efficiency. Love em!

Just sold my Hales Sig 2's after having loved them for 16 years. Before that Acoustats and before those Maggie 1c's.
The Hales were wonderful, but after all that time the tweeter began to bug me.
Replaced with a new pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage. In my small room with vault ceilings, these are magical.
By far the best speaker I have ever heard with my set up, and I have heard many other speakers in the last 25 years.
