codhead Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Bose 901's Several varieties of JBL's Standard Air Force/Navy Exchange offerings. I remember seeing Khorns in the speaker room at the Subic Bay Navy Exchange (only Klipsch they had in stock) and thinking "Man, those things are as big as a freakin' refrigerator!" "Who'd want something like that?" Of course when I had to move every few years, and had a weight limit for all of my worldly possessions, I viewed things a bit differently.

mandi Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 My first purchased speakers were Heresys, but they were purchased with a room mate and he kept them, my second system was the accoustamass 501 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 First set of speakers I ever bought were Infinity Column II's while stationed in Germany. I also bought a pair of Cerwin Vega CH 324 R's. In 1996 I bought my first pair of Klipsch speakers (CF-2's), and it's been no looking back since then.

Doc Robin Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Can't remember the brand but the woofers blew in a couple of days. Went and got the Heresey's and have been smiling ever since. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Heresey's bought in 1985 in Daharan Saudia Arabia. So I've always been a Klipschhead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundog Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I started with a University speaker enclosure kit and a University Diffusicone 12, a fu;; range speaker in the 50s.. I later added a University Sperecon tweeter . With the advent of stereo I duplicated this set-up. Then I bought a dual voice coil 15" University Woofer and a couple of University crossovers and another bigger University enclosure kit,. The Diffussicones became my midranges and the new dual coil woofer became the woofer for both channels - you see sub woofers go way back to the 50s. I had those speakers untill the late 70s were I used them in a nightclub I owned in NYC. They were great speakers. The original Klipschorns used some University components. I used EICO kit tube electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowntnbkr Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 1984 Bose 301's 1989 Bose 601's 2000 Altec lansing model 14's that were given to me.\ 2005 I saw the light, listened to some heresy's and said klipsch were for me. I discovered this website and then bought new heresy's and a rw12, then some beautiful LaScala's off Ebay (I had Dean did wave his magic wand on them), then another forum member looking after another (me) led me to some gorgeous 1984 Cornwalls, which I also had Dean work on. Now I am in audio bliss.........well almost. I want to get some vrd's and try tubes, but also thinking I can get a 5 channel Aragon 2005/2007 in the 1400-1800 dollar price range and wonder if that is not a better route to take.

fini Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 My first system (bought in high school) included crappy TransAudio speakers (Pacific Stereo house brand). The're still at Mom's house. In college, I bought Yamaha bookshelf speakers (NS-5). Those were nicer, but in no stretch of the imagination compare to ANY of my Klipsch speakers.
