When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?

New speakers from Deja Vu Audio delivered two weeks ago.  They are fairly large open baffle speakers with vintage drivers: Jensen 15" woofer, YL Acoustic compression driver and horn, and Electro-Voice horn tweeter.  

Jond.  Well, that wasn't my speaker you heard since mine were not finished until after your visit.  However, mine are probably pretty similar to what you heard at Vu's store.  They use a YL Acoustic (Yoshimura Labs) horn and compression driver from Japan, and Vu probably had a set of those in the store when you visited.  Mine look very similar to the big Western Electric open baffle speakers that were in the same room.  Pictures of mine are on my AudioGon system page. 

Jond, my cabinets are natural maple with walnut slats on front.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course, but I think they look really nice.  Their appearance reminds me of my old Martin Logan CLS.  They also sound really nice! 

I am sure you will enjoy your new Audio Notes.  I heard the AN-J LX in an all-Audio Note system at the Capital Audio Fest and liked it a lot.
