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!

Tonywinsc...You found one of the secrets to excellent stereo...take off the glasses. They ruin the sound by resonating, destroying imaging, etc.

I'm using Vandersteen 5A's. Because of the size of my listening room the supplied metal washers that adjusts the angle of the speaker didn't provide enough forward tilt - that's been fixed. The instructions for the speaker also suggests that it should be firing straight ahead, however, I have a big room, and aiming them inward a bit just focuses the sound so much better, I would rate the speakers as a 10, but am afraid to listen to Vandersteen 's flagship and very high priced 7's
