1. Heathkit drivers mounted in the lower cabinets of the built in bookshelves in my bedroom as a teenager - driven by solid-state electronics.
2. As a young married man, Polk monitor 10 driven by solid-state electronics. Actually at the time I was looking at Bose 501's, until I stumbled across the Polk's..there but for the grace of God go I!
3. Rogers LS35A - driven by tubes - boy was this ever liquid..no base to speak of however.
4. Pyramid Metronome 3 with single sub - still tubes
5. Bose 501's - Just kidding!!
6. Acoustat 2+2 - still tubes
7. Melos Single Ribbon with dynamic woofer units..not sure of the model - Still tubes
8. Melos Triple Ribbon with larger dynamic woofers..the beginning of Mark Porzilli's speaker design Philosophy that later led to his Pipe Dream designs - These were simply amazing. Still tubes
9. Audax CX-7, vintage 1960's or maybe 50's...aaaaaaaaargh yuck! Eight 3" paper cone drivers arranged in a quasi point smear source dinkleberry alignment. Quite simply nails on chalk board highs, sucked out mids and non-existent base. Its been an ordeal [sob]. By way of explanation, I moved to Texas and could not take Triple Ribbons...too large and heavy. So I used these garage sale relics while auditioning for a new speaker system - still tubes
10. Vienna Acoustics Mahler’s - Just got them...best I have owned to date...easy to set up..great sound in every way. Even my wife likes them..[stunned silence]. These will be a long term relationship. -Still tubes
To my dear wife...thanks for putting up with all my BS.
O well, in debt again. Charitable donations can be sent to the VISA Corporation in care of BIOMAN.
