Just turned 49 a couple of weeks ago....
Started the panel thing back in 78 with Magnepans, bought
Acoustat 2's in 1980 or 81, then got 3's, then 2+2's and switched to Apogee Scintillas for a while...
Moved to AZ in 87 had Acoustat Spectra 22's, then 1+1's
back to 2+2's... With Quad 57's and 63's in the middle and
then had CLSII's! Loved those, moved to a much smaller house,
got the original Aerius for a while, loved those too.
On to box speakers for a while (Vandersteen and ProAc)
then moved to current digs five years ago. Bought another
pair of Apogees (still have em) and had a brief bout with
SET and 2nd Rethms in the middle of everything.
Year ago came back to ML, with the Vantages for review and
purchased the Summits!
Still really like the panel thing! Unless I get fortunate enough
to afford a pair of Gamut L-9's (130k/pair) or Avalon ISIS (about
70k/pair) I think the Summit/Descent i will stay the reference
in my main system. Harbeth Compact 7's (current version) in system
2 and a mint pair of Celestion SL600's in living room system.
Perhaps to be replaced by a pair of acoustat 1+1's..
