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?

prof,

That was brilliantly stated! I want to print it and frame it for everyone who questions my audio purchases.

Thank You!

I have put together various types of systems over the years to fully experience all they have to offer.

- high sensitivity speakers with flea watt tube smps
- low sensitivity speakers with monster SS amps
- ESL speakers with both SS and tube amps

These and other combinations. If the negative poster above would understand this, then I suppose he would have never posted his attack. I assume he did it out of ignorance, not meanness.
I am just Wondering how anyone has the time to enjoy the music, when one is changing the most important component of a Hi-Fi that often? In my experience, it take at least for me a long time to get to know my speakers, with the different styles of music I listen too, after years I still hear new things from my setup that makes me smile and enjoy the music.
I enjoy the music and the hobby of trying different speaker and electronic presentations like prof. describes. He says it better than I can. I love different presentations and that is by different speakers. I have 13 pairs in different rooms and set ups.  When I listen to vocal , acoustic music, chamber classical  and smaller ensemble- The Quads , Spendors and Harbeths are the best for ME. Others have other preferences. I am lucky I have many rooms all set up to give me what I believe the specific speaker or speakers will present the music I want to hear. I have different electronics- tubes VTL and Jadis and Conrad Johnson  and Vac amps and preamps in different combination of all tubes or tube and ss combination or all solid state combination. 
I have 3 great turntable setups and have both moving coli and moving magnet mono and stereo cartridges , have built in phono preamp or line stage hooked to tube EAR phone preamp and Cotter head amp. 5 different subs at different locations and used if needed. Have SACD audio aero prestige, AMR 77 CD , . I am lucky to be able to have all  these  and  enjoy the different music I get from them. 
I love slam bang rock and jazz and rap and electronic music and I use my Klipsch  and  Paradigm signature towers and double Magnepan  3 A and double JL 113 subs. 
This weekend I am going to enjoy real music at Minnesota Sommerfest to see Andre Watts at Piano and  with the Orchestra  Friday and Saturday is Vienese waltzes  and  is chamber music afternoon. I have been going to Minnesota Orchestra subscription concerts  with center seats at row  12   for 30 years. Have tickets for Coldplay at Target Center this Aug 11 and U2 this Septmeber at Excel in ST Paul. I love both classical, rock and Jazz and just saw Celtic Thunder at Rochester Civic Center 1 months ago. I love  this hobby. I was in Axpona in Chicago this Spring and fell in love with Vivid Giya speakers run by Jadis electronics and vinyl front end  You should go to the audio expos if you can.   one is coming up in Denver and you can listen to all types of presentation like the " prof " described.
Am glad you are enjoying the speakers and system you have. That is what this is all about. Sorry everyone for my yapping. I will be quiet now but am looking forward to  my concerts coming up.
