I haven't switched speakers that many times. But I have learned that I have a strong preference for "cabinet-less" loudspeakers. My first real speaker purchase was a pair of Vandersteen 1Cs, in which there is little in the way of a baffle. I now run Ohm Walsh 2000s, in which the drivers sit proud of the cabinets, so no baffle at all. Now, whenever I hear a "monkey coffin" speaker, I can usually hear box resonance. There are exceptions, but those are very well designed, and expensive, loudspeakers, like Magico or YG Acoustics designs.
Speaker types- your preference and your journey?
Speakers come in all shapes, sizes and types. In box speakers, we broadly have floor standers and bookshelf. We have electrostatic, planar magnetic, and hybrids. Have you owned and enjoyed more than one type of speaker? What’s your preference presently? I was a devoted Magneplanar owner for years until I heard Revels - I’ve also owned AR’s, Infinity, and presently I own a pair of Wharfdales. I even have a pair of Fraziers in storage.
What has your speaker journey been like?
