Wow...very interesting thread. I am not qualified to even be part of this forum since I just bought my first "high end" component this May, (better late than never), but here goes....but I am definitely a convert..no, addict now!
Here's my repetoir of in house speakers that are up for listening and discerning...some will eventually have to go. Especially if my wife ever comes into my listening room!
1) Older Vandy 2C's upgraded to "Ce's" by Mike at Soundscape Santa Rosa (my first speaker).
2) Hornshop horns with sub.(Had to try horns...)
3) Gallo Ref III.
4) Oskar Heil Khitara's, just arrived last week. Amazing out of the box.
4a) Almost forgot, in the family room...Harbeth HL-P3ES-2. These are keepers, extreme positive WAF. With Musical Concepts Hafler 220 with Platinum Ultra mods, Rega Jupiter and Melos SHA Gold.
Coming this week...
5) Silverline Sonata MkII
6) Dahlquist DQ 10's
7) Older Kef with the LS3/5A drivers, the floor standers.
Except for Vandys, all purchased on Agon.
Amps for my listening pleasure...
Pilot 240 integrated
Stromberg-Carlson amp and pre
Cayin TA 30 with NOS tubes
Mastersound Reference 845
Decware 84C "Mighty little amp"
Cary 811 on the way
Custom 300B amp being built by Alex Dondysh
NY Audio labs pre with phono and with Harvey mods
Denon 2900 with EVS supermods, CalAudio Alpha and Delta
Audiomeca Analog with Denon 103R on the way.
Please, no suggestions for any new speakers...I am, needless to say...tapped!
How long will it take me to find the "speakers for life"...stay tuned.
