Personal speaker evolution

Hologram, 1,500, demo
Voce Divina Soprano 2,500 used
Eggleston Rosa, 9,900 new
Kharma Ex. 1D 87,000 new
........and maybe Altec lansing Vintage horns with double bass 15", Ebay,$275

I look at that list and imagine your income rising at a correspondingly steep rate. Or did the hobby just get the better of you?

I"m keeping this thread alive. My evolution:

..JBL Jubals, 1973. ..stolen..
..Maggie MG-IIa's, 1978. ..stolen..
..Boston Acoustic A100, 1982. ..Still have, wish someone
would steal these..

..Eminent Tech LFT III, 1992. ..Wow sound! I had alarm
system installed and working.

..Added sub Genesis. ..Nice improvement
Servo 12, 1994.

..Added 2nd sub Genesis ..another fine enhancement
Servo 12, 2003. Alarm system
upgraded.

..Added supertweeters, Decca Ribbon Pair, 2004.
..Alarm system is working as I write.

1st: Some sort of General Electric system as a hand-me-down from my sister.

2nd: Panasonic "Thrusters" with a passive radiator (1600 was in the model number).

3rd: Paradigm 9SE

4th: Paradigm Studio 100 V 3 + Rel Storm 3

5th: Intuitive Design Summits + Rel Storm 3

I've upgraded again, so here's my updated evolution:

Wharfedale W45's were my first (guess about $100 in 1972)
- still have them but gutted the cabinets and rebuilt
with with new Audax drivers/crossover

Infinity Monitor IIa's ($500 or so in 1975)
- I still have them - they are all original and
immaculate (surrounds replaced)

Totem Sttaf's ($1500 new in 2003)
Added Rel Storm III (used) to Sttafs in 2004

GMA Europas (used in 2004) installed in second system with a Rel Storm I subwoofer (used).

Von Scheikert VR3's (used) installed dedicated home theater (2005).

Totem Mani-2's in January 2006 (used). They replaced GMA Europas/Storm with Installed the Rel Storm III with the Mani's. Sold the Europas.

Von Scheikert VR4 gen III's (used) in January 2006. They replaced the Totem Sttafs which I have not sold - I can't bring my self to do that because they're better than what I can sell them for so I'm using them in a 3rd system.

Moved the Storm I to the home theater - selling off the AESpirit sub it replace.
