Quite a list of wanna buys. The Crown 224 is not spoken about much but, is one heck of a speaker as is the smaller 212. Also, the JBL S8r is quite a chunks of speaker. While cartridges are smaller to collect, speakers can be funner.

I posted this in 2006:
Since then I have acquired:
Klipsch Cornwalls
JBL L80Ts
JBL 4310 Studio Monitors
Electrovoice Dominators
Frazier F-8-140 WR Sound Columns
Klipsch KG2s
Klipsch Khorns
The Canons are long gone, and my son has the HPM 100s. Everything else is around here somewhere.

Below are the speakers that I have currently for the exception of the Bose, which were sacrificed to get the JBL'S.
1982 Sansui SP Z7 (bought them in the PX Ansbach Germany)
1984 Bose 201 (sold in 88)
1988 JBL 4312 (after selling the Bose, got this at the PX Darmstadt) Second Tour to Germany
1992 Infinity SM82 (bought this PX Taegu Korea)
2013 Sound Dynamics SS-1
2014 JBL 4311 (just got this from a coworker who bought them back in 82 when he was in the Navy.)
There are so many other that I would have love to get my hands on, but they were out of my reach back then and probably still are today.

Ok here it is.
EPI somethings?
HPM-100* 8 pair and looking
KLH 6
B&W CD7se
JBL L77
JBL L100
JBL L150
KLIPSCH CHORUS
JBL 4311*
JBL L65
JBL L220*
B&W 804S
B&W ASD-600 sub
* denotes multiple pair of same model
I still own every model listed. I'm a buyer not a seller.
side note: my mother still uses the EPIs daily, they are on their third set of surrounds.
If I had to narrow it down to one pair to use from here on out I'd have to say the JBL L65, HPM-100, JBL L220, or the B&W 804s.

Hmmm, I've floated many different ones through my system over the years, but the "keepers" have been few.
Store brand 12" 3 ways (college buy)
Maggie 2.5R
JBL L1
JBL XPL90
Audiovector M1 Signature
I've had the Audiovectors in my system for since around 1999. Was tempted with a pair of Opera Callas but didn't pull the trigger. But over the years, literally dozens have speakers have spent some time in my room. B&W, Castle, Energy, JBL, Mirage, Acoustic Energy, Dynaudio, Monitor Audio, Opera, Triangle, and many more.
In my closet, I still have a pair of Veritas 2.2s and JBL L1s.

Started in 1982 when my wife bought a nice NAD set with some infinitiy RSMs. We updated to a bose lifestyle some years later as we had children who loved to poke at things and could suspend the cubes from the ceiling out of reach; we stayed like that until 2008 when I had the RSMs refoamed. From then on it has been a frenzy of collecting. We still have them all and most still work well. Focussing on collecting the notable, and high end vintage these days along with sets of spares in case something breaks
