Personal speaker evolution

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.

Criterion (from Lagayette Radio, remember them?) back in the late '70s, Vandersteen 2ci in the late '80s, Martin Logan Aerius i in the mid '90s, Paradigm Studio 100 v2 since about 2004. I haven't heard anything under $5,000 that's made me want to replace the Paradigms. They're being fed by a Squeezebox Touch though a Plinius 9200.

My post of 5 years ago is a mess. I had a Lafayette all in one stereo system as a pre-teen. Then Klipsch Heresy's at 16 and C38 JBL Signatures with the 030 driver array and Wharfdale somethings in the 80s and 90s then Von Schieckert VR 2s in 2003, then more JBLs C36 030 drivers (2002), then Klipsch Lascalas (2004), Then MY main rig speakers which are JM Lab Electra 936s in 2005, several monitors for secondary systems including NHTs, Merlins, Tannoys and now presently using Hyperion 585s while in exile 2010 to date. Still a mess but a better description of my speaker evolution.

I haven't owned that many in the past-

Rogers LS4a
Harbeth HL-P3 (wish I still had these)

I currently have a few pairs on rotation that I'm going to try hang onto-

Spendor SA 1
Wharfedale Daimond 10.1
Epos ES-12
Usher S-520
Proac Tablette Anniversary
