They are long gone by order of the powers that be!

Cerwin Vega D-9s rocked my world for a brief period of time. Loaded up the 12 disk Pioneer CD player and let things rip! Haven't owned any "big" speakers since ...

@Spud those are some BIG speakers!

Ye olde JBL150. They may not have been the most accurate, but they sounded MASSIVE.

I had a pair of big SONY speakers, and after I moved out of my parent's house, about 3 years later I came home for a visit, and they were gone. Mom sold them. Along with all my other stereo equipment and records, including my autographed Santana album. She said, after 3 years of not using them you don't need them. All I could do was laugh.

Mom, she's the power that be.

One of the guys at work looked up how much I could get for an authographed santana abraxas album, it would've been authographed in about 1980 ... $3000.

Maybe mention that in Mothers day card.

... what I did was I'm having flowers sent on Thursday, with a note that says, I love you Mom!

Remember mother's day is coming, so at least send her a card or give her a phone call.

In one step, I went from Googleophonics (one speaker before infinity) to surgically installed full time ear buds.

BBC LS5/8 bi-amplified monitor speakers with active crossover. Only sold them because I downsized and even I thought they looked a bit big in my little house! They are collectors items so got a good price for them.
Now I have Genelec active speakers with sub-woofer. Very nice.

I remember those days!

Freshman year of college my roommate brought his old band's PA speakers -- Altec-Lansing A7 "Voice Of The Theater" 2-way behemoths -- up to our apartment to use with my modest 35wpc Sony stereo receiver. They remained for about 8 months before the constant noise complaints from neighbors six floors above us became annoying, and he sold them to a local punk band. But for those 8 months every time we sat in the Living Room listening to records it was like those Maxell tape ads where the guys' hair is getting blown across the room!




(for scale: those are 15" woofers)

HOW IS YOUR HEARING BOB??!

 

[TBurst Std]

No pics. I used to have some Klipschorns. Powered by and old Marantz. Each weighed about a Leslie cabinet. Had one of those as well.

 

[TBurst Std]

Still have some Whardale towers. Not using them. I tend to do my listening via my Dynaudio monitors, my FRFRs, or my JH Audio in ears.
