Personal speaker evolution

Aiwa -- part of mini rig when I was a kid $200 or less??
JBL -- small monitors to replace the first that I blew $200
Rat Shack -- something or other 3 way floorstanders $300
Phillips -- something or other 3 way floorstanders $750
Klipsch KG5.5 -- $770
Von Schweikert VR1100's -- $600
Von Schweikert VR2100's -- $800
Martin Logan CLSII's -- $1400
SILVERLINE SR15's -- $800 some of the smoothest I've heard
MARTIN LOGAN CLSIIz's -- $4350
Dunlavy SCIV -- $3800
VON SCHWEIKERT VR4.5's -- $1500&$1350 (went through 2 pair)
Mission speakers in current HT rig -- $2550 (top of line)
MEADOWLARK HERON -- $2250
Magnepan MG1.5's -- $1200
Vandersteen 4A -- $1800
Magnepan MG1.6's -- $1000 (no patience for maggies)
CAVER AMAZINGS -- $800 modded to bi-wire
MARTIN LOGAN ODYSSEY -- $6200

I think I only recently figured out that Logans are best for my listening tastes. But, (1) I will never get rid of my Carvers, too much of a bargain (2) There will always be a need for cones around here.

Sequence is probably wrong and I'm sure I omitted at least half a dozen "one-nighters". I had IMFs and JBLs and Symdex. It's starting to come back to me. Snell, ADS, Rogers, Proac.......I don't know.......I did a lot of trading.
Remember Audio Mart?
