Default Re: How many pairs of speakers do you own?

I Have still have three set
my first set was the warfedale delta 30 IIs
there sound was colored but had good timing and imaging cost about £30 quid
second set are the AR 18s
Now with perished Bass cones
Present set in use are the
warfedale Diamond 803s
can be a bit bass heaver at times
I'm now not sure as to whether i will go for single driver Fostex and a 2A3 Amp or something or keep the 803s and go for Kel 84 Amp
suggestions welcome pleas

1 pair of Rogers


Unless you count a pair of small 1980's Wharfdale Diamonds connected to a DAB Radio in the kitchen.

PS. Send me any spares

Only three:

Tannoy Revolution R2 - used
Heathkit SSU1 (from the late 1950s early 1960s) - which my mother suggests that I take with me every time I visit!
Keesonic KRF - loft!

Just about everyone must have hear of Keesonic Kubs but has anyone else ever used the KRFs? They're a relativel large 3-way reflex set-up with Dalesford 8" woofers (these were a clone of the Kef B200 according to Wilmslow Audio), what I think are Peerless dome midrange units and Peerless 1" dome tweeters. They're pretty typical of late 1970s speakers - they sound good to me but the stereo imaging leaves something to be desired.

Shortly a double horn with FE126E (currently building)
Open baffle with Visation B200 (currently building)
It will be difficould to compare an open baffle with other enclosures, never the less I would be interested how the B200's shape up against FOSTEX.
Please let us know
