Personal speaker evolution

1985 - Pioneer Monitors. Awful but free.

1988 - Onkyo floorstanders. Yes, that Onkyo. Had 12" woofers which, at that time, seemed bitchin'.

1991 - Infinity monitors. Sealed, sounded great, looked classy. Too bad I sold them.

1999 - Klipsch RB-3 monitors. A classic "what was I thinking" situation as I half-heartedly got into home theater. They sounded bad from the start and never improved. At least they were cheap. My kids will hate me for passing them down when they're old enough ... the kids, not the speakers.

2003 - JMlab Cobalt 816S floorstanders. Finally stuck my toe into the deep end. Really like these speakers. See my system page for more details.

???? - Dynaudio floorstanders. Need spousal approval which is an indeterminate number of years away.

I started off with the biggest gaudiest loudest speakers I could find, the Cerwin Vega AT-15. At 18 years old, probably the perfect speakers for me. They were huge, about 40"x20"x20". 15" woofers, extremely efficient, and there seemed no limit to how loud they would play. They got me thrown out of TWO different apartments (well...that and some other things).
Then I went to the other end of the scale and bought the Carver al3's. Nice speakers....terrible choice. My lifestyle at the time and those tall, fragile speakers was a godawful match.
Sold them and went with a pair of PSB speakers combined with an M&K sub. Perfect set up for the time. Great for HT which I was into at the time, easy to place, out of the way, etc.
Then I replaced the PSB's with a pair of Boston VR-20's combined with the M&K. I still have these speakers. Very good HT speaker, a little harsh and thin for music, but for $400 not bad at all.
Now I have the Europas and really enjoy them. I've gone toward the monitor side of things, although I can see myself with a large floorstander in the future.

Boy, this is painful:

1992 - present: Bose 4.2

I need to graduate and get a job so that I may be free of these things! Just starting to scratch the surface on what my next set of speakers may be. I aspire to own a pair of Thiel CS2.4's, but I'm not sure if I can live with the Blose long enough to save up for the Thiels!

Akai something or other
