My travels started with the amazing Bose 301s back in the mid '70s. I the listened to a couple of pairs of what were comparatively junk speakers bought at big box retailers. About six years ago, I wanted to actually purchased some quality equipment since I could finally afford something. The wife and I were looking around and listened to some Magnepans and a few others in our <$2,000 price range when we heard some used SF Grand Piano Domus. I really liked them and my wife loved them, so we walked out with a speaker brand I had never considered owning. We greatly enjoy them but they are very polite. I considered some higher end SF, but I think I am going to get a pair of Rockport Technology Atrias if my poorly laid out room can bring out enough of their magnificence. I am always open to feedback on my system and plans.
It was great reading all of your speaker/system journeys and thoughts.
