Several old school speakers in my two main systems. A pair of stock Altec 846A Valencia's that have great synergy with my Shindo amp and preamp. However the Valencia's also sound great when my Audio Research tube gear and McCormack SS amp are pulled out of storage. I also have a pair of Quad ESL 57's that I plan to run in the early part of 2016 with my Shindo preamp and a pair of Quad II monoblocks to give the Valencia's a little break.
Rounding out the "stable" is a pair of Quad ESL 63's that need refurbishment, but when that project is completed after the Big Move out of SoCal next year, I intend to run them with my ARC gear and a pair of Gradient SW-63 subwoofers. And a pair of Snell Type J II sound great with both the Shindo and Audio Research gear.
My aching back notwithstanding, it's fun to occasionally swap and move speakers in and out. Provides for different perspectives, a chance to reassess, and to listen to my musical faves anew.
