No, this isn't about Boner. Just curious what speakers you like that you have.

JBL L80t3s here in my office

2 pair of the Smaller Advents for HT duty in the bedroom

Vandersteen 3s fronts
JBL L100t3s rears
in the main system in the living room. Too bad that I don't use it often enough. I've been spending most of my time here in the office pissing off and on my Repub friends here.:o:D

You've got it bad!:D I've also got a pair of DCM TF400s out of rotation, the L80t3s gave 'em the boot outta my office system. So, I boxed them up and put them out in the garage.

You want speakers, here you go Yamaha NS-690 Mk I, along with a Yamaha CR-3020, PX-2, K-1000 and CDC-755. Since yamaha did not make RTRs there is a Teax X-1000R, Teac 1230 and Pioneer RT-707, akll connected through a special 3-way switch I built.

In the Bedroom: Boston Acoustics A-40. They are directly on each side of the head of the bed. I use them as a sort of super headphones.

In the Living Room: Acoustic Research Connoisseur 345t - Nice compact 3-way.

In the Family Room: Frankenspeakers that were formerly ADC 300b, but now have all new drivers and crossovers – but I got lucky and they sound great. Those are the fronts of the HT and the backs are EPI M-100.

In the Mancave: A local house brand, CDM, with horn loaded mids and tweeters and Utah woofers – plus a rebuilt crossover. I switch back & forth between those and Acoustic Research AR-93, with refoamed drivers and a recapped crossover.

On the workbench: EPI M-60, with refoamed woofers and recapped crossover.

In the Garage: another local house brand, GSL Mirage II. They have a back loaded mid/tweeter that makes for an interesting sound.

Any time I changed the caps on any of them, I added binding posts if they didn’t already have them. Most of them are also sporting a fresh coat of Howards Feed’n’wax or tung oil.

I have set the boys up with Infinity SM-65 (a pair each), Wharfedale Sapphire SP-87, JBL 2800 and some old Pioneer junkers.

I have three or four pair up on Craigslist, and another ten pair or so that will leave when they are ready.

The speakers not in the house that I wish still were are a pair of Infinity RS 325. I sold a stereo set to a friend of my son and was going to send the EPI M-100 with it. I needed to recap the EPI before I sent them, so I let him take the Infinities with him. He liked them so much that he didn't want to trade back, and I wasn't going to be an a-hole about it.

Good to see another Econowave fan. Can't claim to have built mine: that honor goes to Dennis Nagle (dnagle on AK). He got ahold of a pair of Heil AMT-1's and converted them into Econowaves. They sound mighty fine.

Nagle builds like a beaver. He just picked up two DIY cabs from me at the end of summer. They are also for an econowave project.

Not much to do during those long and brutal Michigan winters, might as well build speakers.

My oldest Brother lives in Ohio and stays in his garage during the winter making bows and gunstocks, some for sale.......................(Well, "some" of them are for himself , his son and grandkids.:rolleyes:)

I can see where you had to have them.

I'm fortunate that things like that rarely show up in central Missouri, otherwise I'd have them ricked to the ceiling.

I was actually very pleasantly surprised by these. They are the generation after the HPM series. While they don't reach super deep in the bass department, they have enough to make them an enjoyable listen, and they have a mid and top end transparency that I never expected. For the price I paid, and the fact that I got them from a fellow AK'er who took great care of them, it was hard to turn down. They spend most of their time with TV, DVD/Netflix moves, and for that, they are absolutely perfect.

They are FKN fantastic speakers. Just hope someday to be able to get the bigger ones.

Here is a link to the thread with some pictures of them in use at my son's wedding back a few years ago. They were the only speakers need in the reception. People could not believe the sound out of such a small setup.

I couldn't tell from the pictures in CL what was in the group of gear. But for the price I went and picked it all up. The group included two black faced modern Marantz receivers along with three of the small speakers and the subwoofer and amp.

Add just said stereo equipment for sale. Some young kid was listing it for his Aunt going through a divorce, she had to give the money to the husband. So she just wanted it gone.

The wife took one look at it and said .."want some help loading it?"

It was the very old club house at a local park we were throwing a wedding and reception at for my oldest son. Probably just pine with a stain sealer or even given the age a shellac or varnish.
