I sure love this kind of threads so here goes...

Bookshelf speakers KEF Coda 70 - one pair in maple and one pair in black (in mint condition).
My all-time favorite budget hi-fi speakers which have stood the test of time (against much pricier ones) and are still present in my home as my main stereo speakers. Everything is just inherently right with these, at least to my ears.

One pair of on-wall speakers Dali Rubicon LCR in natural walnut as my main surround front speakers.
The best on-wall speakers I have heard so far. Rather large ones so decent dynamic bass output on their own fashioned within the typical modern Dali sound best decribed as overall neutral bordering bright in the upper range. Great qualities for surround tho.

No center channel speaker but the Dalis are flanked by two budget 10 inch (sealed) subwoofers Wharfedale WH-D10 in black and two pairs of rather old by now very budget JBL Nortridge E10 in black as side and rear surround speakers. All of them do their job amicably especially for the money laid out.

Nice lineup.

(2) SVS SB2000 subwoofers.
More detail and gear in signature link below.
Looking to build a multichannel system for my parents for a mix of music/Netflix and this is what I’m leaning towards atm(at least the jbl stuff). There are slightly flatter offerings at that price from say KEF, but their room is fairly large, and they don’t have the spl/compression performance of the JBLs.

Dynaudio Special One.

Collected today, after two days of listening, at the seller's house and at my house. I was really impressed, I kept them and am enjoying them. They sound amazing.
they are equipped with the famous Esotar 330 D tweeters and apparently super selected internal components and woofers. Almost 40 years old, 82 dB and 4 ohms....I thought I had problems, but instead they sound great!!
A few marks here and there, but I think I'll dismantle them and take them to my trusted body shop. They deserve a nice restoration!!!

Nice Ibanez. Intrigued with that acoustic guitar on the right side, you got the picture cropped

Ibanez 1981, made in Japan. The microphones on the neck and bridge have been changed. The body is very thin and so is the sleeve. The sleeve is very fast, the sound is excellent.

These are a Frugel-Horn kit I purchased and put together from Planet10 Hi-fi in Victoria, British Columbia. The four-inch drivers are from Mark Audio, they're Alpair 7 generation 3. I had someone apply the veneer for me. The speakers behind are Rega NAOS transmission line speakers.
