Have tried what funds, space and other members of the household will allow over many years.
The history has included large and small, floorstanders and standmounts, modern and old. Still many I'm sure excellent models I have not heard at home but have tried models from amongst others Shahinian, EPOS, Tannoy, PMC, Celestion, Celef, Mission, Kef and Castle.
I can see why people like Shahinians, I tried the Arc but found the presentation difficult; I loved aspects of the Tannoys, likewise Ditton 44s, they seemed to 'enhance' certain recordings with nice heavy bass but wasn't so convinced at higher frequencies. I like the first edition Mission 770 too, oh and also the AR 18 midrange, the liquidity of the EPOS 22s.
But if finances permit to maintain as will be needed and I have an adequately large space I can't imagine going back from the Quad ESL63/Gradient SW63 combination that I've recently set up.
It didn't work as well as I had hoped until I followed the advice to circumvent the Gradient crossover for the supply to the ELS63 and instead use a capacitor of the suitable value in series. The bass supply is still from the Gradient crossover. It is wonderful, certainly the best I've heard at home: fabulous detail and musicality, ample heft, tuneful bass and timbral insight.
This is in the context of unremarkable power amps - an Audiolab 8000p for the SW63s and an Audiolab 8000px for the ELS63s.
