    I only have 4 sets. I'm a soft core speaker ****, but I'm working on becoming a full fledged speaker ****.

    Be the ****.

    hmmm... not exactly sure what a speaker **** would be :-)
    maybe someone who whoreded speakers? I do that.

    Reminds me of a joke

    A man walks into a doctor's office with a pretty significant head wound.
    "What happened?" asked the doc.
    "I called my girlfriend a two-bit ****" said the patient.
    "...and then what?" queried the MD.
    "She hit me on the head with a sackful of quarters!"

    Thank you, thank you... I'm here 'til Thursday!

    I don't have that many either (4 pairs without counting HT and the Atriums); it's more the fact that I can't stay put..I have one pair (Dynaudios) that gives me all I want and probably will never sell, but I keep wanting to try new ones.

    Oh, that's four pairs plus one coming :o

    Ricardo...I just looked at your "My Audio Journey"...
    I have came to the conclusion that you are a dirty stank trifelin' nasty sleazy old road ****.
    But I like it...
    At least you admit and confess you are a ****.

    Yup; you're missing the SDA 1B's and Thiel 3.6's. I still own the Monitor 7B's with peerless and SDA CRS +'s (both with upgraded xovers), the Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk II's, and the recently added Magnepan MMG's.

    All I can say is it has been fun as hell, and I would do it all again. The only speakers that I would probably buy again are the Carver AL-III's and the Tylers.....but there are soooo many to try out there :)

    I have to say the 1.2 TL's. All of them are great speakers, all of them have great SDA effect, but the fact that you could enjoy the 1.2's at very low volumes, and know that you could just as well raise the volume and shake the house....it was fun.
