Harvard speakers, a house brand of an Stereo Appliance store. Not very good, but I thought I was had arrived. Bose 901's followed, lots of fun, I had arrived. NHT 2.9's, wonderfully accurate, but narrow sweet spot. Von Schweikert MK ll's. Best so far and every bit as good as anything near the price. My speakers to keep for many years or forever I would not complain and be very happy. Purchased on a auction the Daber Monitor 3's. These speakers really sing sweetly. They nearly equal my primary speakers they are that good. No hurry for anything new, at least not until my sons are well through college.

Magnavox sys (real cheap)
Teac 2.0 ($150)
Boston Acoustics 5.1 ($350)
Def Tech Mythos XTR-60 x 3/Gems x 2 (3k-best so far)

I came accross a pair of Thiel CS3s several years ago from a co-worker who worked for Thiel in the early 80's. Still one of the most beautiful speakers I have seen, perfect matching Brazilian rosewood, serial #s 023 & 024. Jim Thiel hand picked every veneer in rosewood to make sure the grain pattern was perfect, so I was told. I would have to agree. I hook them up and listen to them every once and a while, they love my old Conrad Johnson system. Going to restore them completely in the next year. Will have to post some pictures once I get them finished.
