Personal speaker evolution

Great thread....

Kef C-40s(1985)(music not yet a hobby, plus never home; currently in my basement, along w/Yamaha processor of the same era), then Def Tech Towers(1997)(still watching mostly movies), then Legacy Focus(2000) (starting to listen to 2-channel music with amp and preamp(Adcom)), then Legacy FOcus 20/20(2003) (getting a little more serious; now are the rears in my 2-channel/movie setup), then Legacy Whispers(2005) (2 channel system upgraded drastically once I got these - listening critically at this point - system has quickly outgrown the speakers); FINALLY - Von Schweickert VR-7SE's (due in a few days). Don't imagine I'll be "upgrading" these anytime soon.....

As the song goes, what a LONG, strange trip its been.........dates are approximate. Have also upgraded through 3 Velodyne subs(for movies), now with DD-15.

This may be nonlinear in spots, as sometimes I had several speakers at once (Hello everyone, my name is Chris - "Hi Chris" - and I'm an audio addict)

... and coming soon: Lansche 4.1

From Peak Consult through Lansche - these are speakers that I owned or now own (or am about to own) as the distributor for these brands.

Lastly - these are just the commercially available speakers that I've had. I've built a bunch, as well ... and that may best tell the tale of why I've stuck to distributing! ;-)
