Bose 901 II's....two pairs
Maggie II's
Accoustat 4's
Infinity Beta's.....still own
Totally forgot the AR model 9 s . I owned two pairs and had to replace the whoofers twice because of rot. Great speaker though.
1967 Infinity Servo-Statik I $1800 (eventually broke down - discarded)
Got Married
1982 Magnepan SMG $400 demo (still in my attic - any interest?)
Current System
1995 Magnepan 0.6QR $550 used
1998 Augmented by DefTech PF15 $400 used
2004 Augmented by Magnepan MMG W and MMG C for surround sound $600
2004 Added Adcom 5802 to power the 0.6QR and offload the Denon 3803. That is what the Maggies have been waiting for - begging for- for so many years. Now I have a room filled with the most glorious sounds. You fellow panel heads out there will know what I mean. You cone heads will have to use your imaginations. :-D Any fellow Maggie afficionados, if they aren't already singing to your complete satisfaction, get the highest-output mosfet amp you can afford. Maggies love it. I recommend 5802 <$900 used.
