What do you currently own as loudspeakers?


This is sort of a survey as much as anything. I am constantly amazed at what people buy, and why they do so. I'll frame this in this regard by asking several questions:
What speakers do you currently own--Brand, Model, and any refinements/mods?

Grading on a scale of one TO 10,(10 being "I'm in love" one being, OMG this is really a shit speaker!) rate them.

If you're looking, what do you WANT to achieve?

What music do you favor?

What's missing from ALL your speakers you've owned?

How old are you?

Name all speakers you've owned...and rate THEM TOO! 1/10

How many hours a day/week/do you listen?

Do you take off your glasses when you listen; close your eyes?

Last time you got goose bumps: music, performer, why!

This will tell us a lot about our people on Audiogon...and LADIES, if you're out there, don't think that every man on Audiogon won't be thrilled and pleased to hear what gives you girls goosebumps!

Thanks and let's play!

I am running soundlab m2's with tordial transformer mod,copper diffusion ring and impedance mods on the backplates.
My music varies from diana krull,dave grusin,choir with organ,miles davis,eric clapton,and even pink floyd will perform.
My age is 51,I am running tubes for the pre and power amps,
listen with lights low or off,single malt scotch at times,cold canadian beer others,I do remove my glasses at times.I find myself moving my feet;playing guitar with eric clapton and carlos santana,and even conducting the buffalo philharmonic;in other words I find my system to pull me into the moment and keeping there until I decide to do otherwise;this was my main goal in putting together a 2 channel system.
Other speakers were Ohm F's,Merlin 4B+'s,and Dunlavy scIII's
The Ohms did not perform well but that was my fault as I did not understand the matching of the amp to the speakers;very early in my understanding of the hobby.The Merlins and Dunlavy's were a B+ and A in that order;I could have lived with the Dunlavy's if I did not want to explore electrostatics and their magic.
I also have a pair of usher rw729's rate then at a B as these are my first monitor speaker and was surprised how well a monitor speaker can perform.
