Wharfedale Denton SP1 - perhaps they were good and the system was crap?
Mission 700s - first serious speakers. Bought solely on magazine reviews. Later realised how tiring they were so
Kef Coda 3s - auditioned these with about 6 others including Heybrook HB1s and they were the clear winners. Swallowed more propaganda so auditioned and bought
Linn Index mk 1 - OK for a while but still too bright so bought second-hand
Linn Index mk 2 - Very underrated speakers and dirt cheap now. Stayed with them for quite a while but had to scratch the floorstanding itch so bought 2nd hand
Linn Keilidhs - for an electronic deep dance music bass line they were fantastic, really shifted some air. Anything else was a mess. A few amp upgrades still couldn't control them
Linn Kans - In complete contrast had no bass. At all. Nothing. Replaced by second-hand (bought from 2 faced bastard)
Naim SBLs - Because the aforementioned bastard had stored them in his damp garage, set-up was a nightmare. Worth it in the end apart from a sibilance problem. To cure got
Naim SL2s - cheapest pair ever because of no crossovers and a big gouge out of 1 top. Easy to set up and sound sublime. Still had treble sibilance but recently traced to room problem.
Now very happy chappy. These are very probably the last speakers I will ever own unless they fall to bits or I blow them up.
