What speakers do you currently own?

[Kr2d2]

Hi!
Here is another member of the “you can never own enough loudspeakers - but you may have not enough rooms for them” club , so here are mine:

- My most beautiful Fischer & Fischer SN 450, in my main listening room
- QUAD ESL 57 in my bedroom, aka my 'other' listening room
- Fischer & Fischer custom made 2-way bookshelf speaker in our living room
- DIY LePetit à la Markaudio CHP-90, in parallel as TV/Video speaker in my main listening room, w/ Nubert AW-550 sub if needed
- Celestion 3 bookshelfs in my wife's bedroom
- Tannoy subsat 3 system, for dining room/kitchen
- ATL Hans Deutsch HD310i, in my room somewhere North
- Genelec 8010 + A5040(?), in bags for outside/travelling
- Soundmatters FoxL V2, the only tiny (Bluetooth-)speaker that I really(!) enjoy listening to!

QM60 used to exist as well. I'm still curious about it but it's seldom sold used.

Ideally I'd want Ino Audio pi120s. It's from the same designer Ingvar Öhman.

In regards to that white speaker: The diffraction from that stepped baffle must be giving some serious dispersion irregularities. Compounded by crossing over to what looks like an 8 inch driver, I can’t imagine this being a successful design.

They are very serious constructions which make most speakers sound like toys

This is why I'm not for instance so convinced that Ascilabs would be an upgrade

pi60, signal vs outcome:

Frequency response on signature version of pi60. should be similar to the white speaker:

How about horizontal and Vertical polar plots?

How about horizontal and Vertical polar plots?

Nothing is designed to be narrow.
I've seen some measurements many years ago but nothing I have saved on the hdd or lost over the years.
There's usually info on how to toe-in, how close to the wall, in which distance the sound is the best etc. And if you look at the video above you can see that the room is far from echo-y. There's tons of information that most speaker brands do not give to the buyers.

Even the cheapest speakers like Ino Audio piP are also designed to go deep (34hz:ish), monitor like qualities to give objective truth. Some speakers are specifically made for studio use.
There are even bigger systems, but nothing I can afford to buy anyway (and long waiting time, can't order without evaluation first in Stockholm) so no need to go into it all..

This speaker for instance can go incredibly loud, so nobody is supposed to sit close to it.

Also sometime use my Spendor S3/5s. (And also a pair of old Thiel 02s from the early 80s that I still love).

Amazing room

I have Cabasse Colonne 100.

Yamaha HS5 in my study. I plan to upgrade eventually. When the kids grow up a bit more I’d also like to get some decent floor standers in the living room.

Kind of jealous of all these people who have summer and winter homes!

Interesting use of the ELAC's for Atmos overheads !
I imagine an excellent sounding Immersive system,
Congrats!

I love to look at speaker boxes so I made these art pieces.

Some years ago, silent boxes with speaker drivers were installed in the windows of the DKNY shops as decoration.
Back to topic: usually 3-band 2-ways (coax driver in WG) with DBA subs, all DIY. The living room, music room, office, and bedroom are all one room, so there's only one pair of speakers; they also provide sound for the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom.

Bonus room: original large advents, factory tweeter replacements after an unfortunate party incident, hand built replacement crossovers by former owner who was an EE student at the time, recently reformed woofers. They're still alive and well and still sounding great.

Living room: klipsch quartets with crites replacement crossovers and titanium tweeter domes. Still rockin' the house thirty something years later.

Monitor Audio R952MD loudspeaker Sam Tellig May 1988 | Stereophile.com

Sam Tellig wrote about the R952MD in May 1988 (Vol.11 No.5): I was in my local mid-fi store the other day to look at the used equipment shelf (you never know when you might see some old Marantz tube gear). A customer—I'd say he was in his early 30s and very much a burn-out case—was grooving on a...

I bought them secondhand over 30 years ago and still have them to this day. In recent years they've been paired with an Elac sub and I'm still very much enjoying both.

If the kids ever finally move out, then I might treat myself to an 'upgrade', probably some Kefs of sort, but there's no rush.
