What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?

Used audio market is not the same again since on-line marketplace was born in 1995 (Fleabay).   What is your speaker *ownership* history since then?

Dynaco A25 (in a secondary system)

JM Reynaud Trente

I still have my old B&W bookshelves in my garage system and my last pair of Aerial 10T's are at my Cabin still in use! My Aerial model 5's are boxed up in my storage room but I need to sale them soon along with a backup pair of 10T's! I've owned 3 Pairs of 10T's and currently have 2 pair as I was going to build a multichannel system and use them as front and rears but changed my mind on it! In my main system now I am running the Egglestonworks Andra II's with F113 fathom subs in stereo! I think I will keep the Eggs for a very long time as they are amazing! :)
