Speakers. What do you have? What have you had? What have you got on your wishlist?

[savvypaul]

My current listening speakers are Cube 1s at home and stacked Quad ESL57s in the workshop.
I actually have a shipping container which is mostly full of speakers (a couple of old pushbikes too.)
Previously I've had:
Cube3s*
Scansonic M5*
Optimus PRO LX5*
Linn Index
EPOS ES14
Rogers LS4a*
Goodmans Dimension 8*
Linn Kans
Linn Isobariks*
Kef 104.2*
Various models of Mission
Loads of others too numerous to mention.
(The ones with asterisks are still in my possession.)

The only ones I really miss are the EPOSs, they definitely had "something" but were replaced by the 'Briks.
The Scansonics could be the best compact speakers I've had - they even got me over my longing for another pair of Kans (which are more musi-specific - meaning they sound ace on certain tracks, but not all.) The Optimus from Tandy have the Linaeum tweeter, which is something special, but unfortunately the rest of the speaker doesn't live up to it.

Thanks for sharing with the group. I hope you can make the weekly meetings...

What have i had...
Jpw minimonitors
Some big transmission lines that vented out of the top that my dad built in the late 80s
Linn index 2 which i quite liked
Kef q15 and 55. The 15s were nice, tue 55s were not.
Quad 11l. Loved them and i want some more of them
Mission 773 and 731 somewhere in the house in boxes
I have built loads of speakers, 3 sets of metronomes with fostex fe127e, dual mark audio chr70s and the last set which had faital drivers which i still have in a box somewhere.
My massive, sadly departed fane 15-300tc 15" drivered wardrobes. Aperiodic loaded, fettled over years. Cant have them in the new house because they are too big.... cabs have gone but i still have the drivers.

I havent had anything at all set up since chrismas but at least i have my headphone amp and wiim mini set up in my office so i do have something. Ill have to decide what to do when i finally get a system of some sort set back up, maybe go with the 773s then decide what to change to suit this place.. onwards!

Wharfedale Laser 60
Kef Coda III
Castle Trent
Royd Eden
Linn Index 2 on Ku-Stone stands
KEF Q55
KEF "egg" satellites with sub
My own designed Metronome speakers, with 4" Fostex full-rangers and twin Ruark subs
Scott Lindgren designed, 5 foot tall Metronome speakers, with 8" Fostex wideband drivers and supertweeters
Own design omni directional Metronome speakers called the "OmniMet"
Own design aperiodic speakers using 12" Fane triple cone full-range drivers
And finally a pair of Q Acousics 3010i. Tiny little things but they sound great and will probably see me out.
Can't be arsed designing speakers anymore; I'd rather build tube headphone amps.
