How many pairs of speakers do you own?

Only just discovered this thread.

Can't add much to the discussion; I have four speaker arrangements but they're not likely to mean much to anyone these days.

Amazingly, I still have the GEC 8" metal cone with "presence unit" in the cabinet I made for it in 1955. I used this with a Brenell tape recorder. Pre-stereo of course.

I also have kept a pair of HMV DLS519 speakers. HMV suggests a pleasant looking radiogram playing Bing Crosby's Greatest Hits, Vol 217, but in fact "DLS" stands for Dutton Loud Speaker. Dr Dutton was Chief Electrical Engineer of EMI in the early 'sixties and was a clever designer of audio stuff. I used these with a Quad II/22 and subsequently a HMV 555 which was a beautifully made 5/10.

Depending on my mood (and strength available to move the things - the Autograph is 58,5" tall), I alternate between a pair of Tannoy R-GRF and Autograph folded horns. Both are fitted with the 15" dual-concentric - NOT the derided HPD.
