First came a pair of AR18s - part of that classic Dual CS505/Nad 3020/AR18 system, bought as a package from the brother of a friend.
I heard a pair of Focal PS5.1s at a show and discovered Falcon Acoustics did a kit version, the Aria 5. Saved up and bought. Loved those. Still in use by my BIL.
ELAC FS210 Anniversary, my first grown up floorstanders, and an introduction to ribbon tweeters.
Raidho S2. Probably the most beautiful looking loudspeakers I’ve ever used. Loved their sound, too. Getting a taste for ribbon tweeters now…
Focal 1027Be. Wow. Just wow. An introduction to how phase coherence matters.
Focal 1028Be. See above, with knobs on.
Russell K Red150, lovely, expressive, delightful in many ways, but just not the 1028s.
Amphion Argon 7LS. Still got these, amazing performance for the money.
FinkTeam Kim. Just arrived. A keeper. Definitely. Could imagine these seeing me out, TBH.
