Personal speaker evolution

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-
