Yamaha NS1000m since 1979, still going strong.
before that Rank Arena Model 510, from a mail order catalogue my Mum was running. I still have these as well! (Why??? I ask myself)
 
1992 - 1998 - Mission 760i
1998 - 2001 - Paradigm Monitor 7
2001 - 2008 - Rega ELAs MKI (non Royd Drivers)
2007 - Current - Rega ELAs (original R & D pair from Derek Frost)
2010 - 2012 - Rogers LS4/a

Not the largest variation of speakers throughout the years, as you can probably tell the ELAs have been my pride and joy.

However am now looking to possibly keep the ELAs but add two subs, as the ELAs are a tad bass shy for my preference of music.
 
Celestion SL6s (Very Good)
Linn Nexus (OK)
Origin Live OL2A (Very Good)
Monitor Audio MS10i Pearl (Good)
Dali Royal Menuet (Very Good/Brilliant)
Leema Xero (Good/Very Good)
Proac Tablette Anniversary (Very Good/Brilliant)
Proac Tablette Signature (Brilliant, I prefered these to the anniversary)
Audiosmile Kensai (Brilliant plus)

Sticking with the Kensai for a while, fab sound from such a small speaker.

Obviously the ratings are just my opinion
 
In no order or preference.

I've had multiple pairs of Kans, Saras, SBLs, IBLs, Credos, Rega Elas and Isobariks. Not much I haven't liked to be honest, probably only the HB1s. Linn, Naim, Snell and Impulse have generally been the best I guess. I must've had a fair few other bits which I've forgotten but I must say I've enjoyed it all so much!
