How many speakers do you own?

[cashflagg]

Ha... I had a set of these many years ago, I actually thought they were pretty good back then, I used to drag those around with my amp, mixer, turntables, etc. to all the house parties I went to, I beat the crap out of them and they never blew up. LOL the crappy pioneer piezo tweeter that was in them was harsh as hell.

Hah, funny you mention that. I honestly don't think they are too bad for what they are, the cabinets are honestly the weakest part about them. However, I keep them around because they make a great speaker to test things with...because if they blow up...well...so be it.

Why no Corellis?

 

[Hugo9000]

Why no Corellis?

Everything I have, I purchased new, and Corellis were discontinued long before I even knew about KEF. It was in Autumn of 1987 that a college friend told me that I needed KEF speakers to do justice to my Leontyne Price recordings. She was right! (Although DCM TimeFrame 2000s were pretty nice as well, along with Apogee Divas as I discovered a few years later.)

 

[smollett5]

Fair enough, but second-hand Corellis in good shape sound excellent. I think I have three pair. They use the same tweeter as the Rogers LS3/5A (of which I have one pair) but put out a bit more bass. Superior value for the money.

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. I know this is an old thread but for anyone that owns both BA t930 (or 830) and Klipsch KG4s, what you think of the two in comparison? I'm trying to decide on a new set for my NAD 3040 (pre) and Adcom gfa 535 combo. I have another set of BAs on there now which are good, but want something of the same era with more range. Thanks in advance.

I have t930 and Kg4 and prefer Kg4 for 30% music/70% home theater. T930 more for music. Both are great speakers . I think room you put them in makes more difference with Kg4. Boston are more flexible when it comes to room/placement, Imo.

As far as this thread goes, number of speakers are ever changing, usually growing, lol.

 

[544man]

......and the total just changed.

Added a pair of Celestion Ditton 25 to the collection a couple of hours ago. Small problem though. I live in Ontario, Canada, NE of Toronto, but I bought them while I am visiting family in Surrey (Vancouver) BC. Couldn't resist. Now I have to get them back to Ontario (we flew here!). Still have to audition them.

They will be joining:

Paradigm 7se
Tannoy C-6
Tannoy PBM-8
Rega-Camber 2.5
ESM-1s
RTR EXP-8
EPI M100
SOMA
Speaker Factory DIY
StudioLab (small)
Energy Take-5 satellites
My own circa '75 homebuilts (all Philips, 3-way)
Paisley Research (two pair, will make one)
Yamaha NS-A-something
Advent Calypso all-weather
Axiom 2.5
Koss outdoor (two pair)
Koss M85 Dyna-Mites (maybe will be parted out)
Technics something

....may have missed something. And like a lot of AKers with the affliction, I'm nowhere near done!

 

[gsilliman]

Great - thanks for the input. that's about what I was thinking and was leaning towards the T930s as I only listen to music on that setup and like the BA/NAD sound profile.
