What do you currently own as loudspeakers?

......I'm afraid to answer ! .....although it appears that there has been a retreat !

I currently own a pair of Legacy Focus the original models from 1999-2000 era. I guess I rate them a 8.9. They are unmodified and I run them biamped with a 4 channel Citation 7.1 amplifier.

I am always looking for audio gear but to describe what I want in terms of sound quality is tough. I guess I am looking for something that makes me happy, something that makes me say wow.

I listen to 80s rock, Jazz, Instrumental, Funk, Soul.
I am 47 years old and before these speakers I had Genesis 500s ( I rate them 8.5) and before that I had Polk SDAs (8.0) and before that I had home made speakers (college days) with a coffee table sub woofer and tower satellites. Before that I had RTR3 way speakers in high school. Those are too far back for me to rate.

Some weeks I dont listen at all, then others if I am home (alone) I may listen all day. Either casually while doing other stuff or serious listening seated. I dont wear glasses except reading glasses.

I am always looking for impact and realistic effect of a concert so I generally prefer multi driver speakers with lots of cone area and I dont mind powered sub sections. But I have to feel the music the bass must move me or else its not concert like. I was a performing musician through college in jazz as well as brass choirs and classical music groups so I feel that I know what various instruments are supposed to sound like and that is what drives me.

Maybe he was drunk and finally passed out? Speaking of, I need a refill after reading this thread...

I should probably start with the really dumb comment that speakers just aren't that important--most speakers will give a reasonable performance when fed by a good source component and decent amplifier.

current speakers:
Bose 301 series V, no mods
I rate them a 10.

Classical, bluegrass, big-band

Last time you got goose bumps: music, performer, why!
This morning while listening to Ronald Lo Presti's The Masks, with Howard Hanson conducting the Eastman-Rochester Symphony Orchestra (Mercury, MG 50106). This was new music for me, and I just found the performance, material, and sonics highly engaging.

right on, newbee. it seems completely moronic for a dealer to go out of his way to alienate his core market, but then again, i'm not a dealer
