Oh my, starting from 1985 ish, This is probably about half of my speaker adventure, the more noteworthy ones....
Pair of Wharfdale super 8 or 10 in big boxes, liked them, sold
Kef B139 - T52s, someone's home made, deep bass, no treble. sold
Saved up and bought "recommended" Toshiba SS 30 nice enough. Used for parts.
Home made 2" Bandors. Good, but never quite right. Still have the drivers, and a few more.
1995.
Genexxa LX5s, tweaked, with various subs. Very good speakers, particularly tweeters, enabled me to get ahead designing amplifiers, still have them and at least another 6 "spare" pairs.
Kef 104AB inherited from grandad, Ok but didn't really like them, sold.
2008 married with small people, new house and a bigger room.
Celestion Ditton 15, really wanted to like these, but awful, really. sold
Unknown small 2 way a bit like LS3/5a style. Worked well, Stupidly swapped out the nice Seas tweeters. Still have them in living room.
Goodmans maxim original, nice, sold
Goodmans Magisters, on SE 3w valve amp. Oh my, what bass, transient attack etc. Turning point, I like big speakers. Too big and ugly, sold, but mysteriously still have a few of the drivers....
Goodmans Magnums, disappointing. Deconstructed probably.
Wharfedale Dovedale III (newer one), fixed woofer rubber, wow, these are the best speakers, fierce tweeter tamed by rolled off SE 3w valve amp. Total synergy, just the best with all types of music from electronica to classical. Still have them, and in use + 2 spare pairs.
Wharfdale Linton 2XP, fun office speakers, deconstructed to experimental 4" transmission line, to be continued...
Wharfedale Linton original, not that special, sold.
Bargain Yamaha NS1000ms, replaced bodged crossovers, nice but didn't get on with SE 3w valve amp, so back to Dovedales. Still have them, have now found happy tube amp match after 10 years. Very good speakers.
Wharfedale Kingsdales. More efficient, rather than deeper bass than Dovedales, tube amp hostile load, prefers SS amp, sold.
Quad ELS57, didn't get on with SE 3w valve amp and a bit sick. One panel faint buzz, now other one has stopped altogether, still have them, will fix one day, very lovely.
2014, another new house with big office
with permanentish Dovedales and NS1000s setup.
Wharfedale Triton, pass, started rebuilding, still have them.
Goodmans Mezzo original. No top or bottom, sold.
B&O Beovox 5700, didn't really get on with them, realised just before they went, need to be at least 4 meters away for the sound to integrate. Sold.
Meridian M2. Moisture damaged (hope your ears are burning). 2 rubbing voice coils. Quite like them, still have them.
Wharfedale Teesdale SP2. I heavily tweaked them and new woofers. Pretty decent transparent speaker, better than Dovedale, approaching NS1000 ish, At this point got fed up with housing so many speakers, Sold. Still love Dovedale more though.
Home built LS3/5a clone, very lovely. In daily use in the study.
Haven't really bought any speakers since. Built Dark Night, semi active ultimate speakers with stacked Linaeum tweeters, Accuton mids, 2x B139 and 2x B220 bass/ subs and DSP room adjustment. These are next level, full range, time aligned speakers, which I will continue to refine, mostly the bass/ room integration. They are just so good.
Have a few speaker projects on the back burner, but Accuton mid is causing a rethink, can I be bothered as the results may not be an improvement. Building lots of tube amps at the moment, but will return to conquer the passive crossover network one day.
