Personal speaker evolution


OK, so here is a thread I haven't ever seen here: What speakers have you owned? starting with the earliest, price paid, new/used, and perhaps the models that really impressed you (for the price) in CAPS.

The only pair I ever purchased new were Polk Audio RT10's.

Below are a few of the speakers I previously owned over the last few years and purchased used:

- Totem Mites in mahogany - SOLD
- Totem Dreamcatcher in cherry (complete 5.1) - SOLD
- Dynaco A25 - SOLD

Current home theater is all previous generation NHT (ST4, SB3,...).

Currently own:
- PSB Stratus Silver in gloss black
- Energy Veritas 2.1 in cherry veneer with matching stands
- A/D/S Sat6 in gun-metal grey
Okay. Here is a list of the speakers that I have owned starting with the current set:

- Wilson Sashas
- Wilson Watt/Puppy 8s
- Revel Salons
- Legacy Audio Focus
- Legacy Audio Studio Monitors
- Polk M5's & M3's

Over the last several years my system has completely changed several times.

With the Sashas:

- DCS Delius & Purcell combo
- ReQuest Media server with 5000 songs & 271 movies
- Lamm M1.2 Reference Mono amps

With the WP8s:

- DCS Delius & Purcell combo
- ReQuest Media server with 5000 songs & 271 movies
- PBN Denali Mono amps

With the Salons:

- Levinson 390S
- Levinson 33H's

With the Legacy Audio Focus:

- Meridian 561 pre/pro
- Meridian 596 dvd/cd player

With the Legacy Audio Studio Monitors:

- Meridian 502
- Meridian 506.24

With the Polk Audio Speakers:

- Yahama DSPA-3090 pre/pro & 7 channel amp

And I am still evolving. However, when I do upgrade speakers, they'll be from Wilson Audio. I would ultimately like to end up with a full home theater where both music and movies are enjoyed. That'd bring me full circle.
Started with:
Dynaco A-25 40 years ago, then
Kef C-80, PSB4t, Nht Classic 3, PSB t65, psb Stratus Gold.
Speakers tend to be the more stable part of my systems.
