What speakers do you currently own?

I'm currently running arendal 3 1961 monitors up front with 1961 bookshelf surrounds and 4 aperion audio a5 on the ceiling for my atmos. Subs are Sb 1000 pro x2.

There is a chance I will switch the base layer out for the perlisten x series speakers once they release depending on if they measure/sound good as they are on the more expensive side.

Lot of bang for the buck there.
 
Surround system is Klipsch RF7ii fronts, RC-64ii center, RS-62ii side surrounds, old KG 3.5 for rear surrounds, and a giant LilMike horn sub.
I hadn't heard of the LilMike stuff before, a bunch of posts on AVS enlightened me.
I take it you built it yourself, very kool. The post at AVS shows some pretty impressive low end extension for a horn, but they are just a bit large. :eek:
One would take up about half of my listening room. LOL
Enjoy!

Sounds like you got one hell of a multich rig now, have fun. ;)

I've built 4 of his designs. The one with the theater is the size of a kitchen refrigerator but plays flat to 15hz on 1000w and is very clean. The one paired with the Belles is a bit smaller. I still need to sand and finish it (and the table). Mike is one of those people I'm very glad to have met (even if just virtually)

Sweet K-Horn system! The rig I had for 30 some years before retirement included a pair of La Scala's and 2, 7 foot tall HSU subwoofers
Some days you just gotta Rock & Roll. :p

Main: Wharfedale Aura 2's which have become my favorite listen-to-the-music speakers of all time. I find myself seeking out new music just to hear them in action. Did an Amon Tobin session last night, they were spectacular.

Study: Q Acoustic M20 active, used as nearfield PC speakers
 
Avantgarde Duo XD. I like 'em!

In the garage: 2 different sets of diy 'synergy' horns. 2.5 sets of Sony sscs5 minispeakers (was using them for calibrating measurement mics). 1 mostly disassembled pair of large Advents that started to get econowaved long ago but never finished. 1 set of Ascilab C6B now in use, with a pair of diy stealth subs.
 
Rosso Fiorentino Pienza 2 mains, Chario Balbo Center (I like Italian), Klipsch 402 surrounds, 2 Sigberg 10D subs. Learning to like Norwegian too...
 
I have a pair of T+A Criterion T120 (produced 1989-1994) which I "inherited" from a friend's father when he moved into a retirement home. I remember being incredibly impressed by their performance when I first heard them at my friend's home back in 1991 (?). I run them with a Fosi V3 Stereo and use the DIRAC in a miniDSP Flex and love the resulting sound. Precise stereo imaging and spot-on tonality at my listening position, with more volume available than the neighbours in the apartment below would tolerate.

I'm sure it's possible to get better sound in my room, but I am perfectly content with what I have.

(I have the version with oak veneer).

Still I have the bigger version T230 with more bass drivers. Excellent for voices and deep bass without subwoofers. Fully intact even at this age. Will keep them becouse little better ones like Magico ~ 60 k€ are much too expensive for me.

I had for some years the T+A Criterion TB140 which where their successors in 1995 (hidden TML and also D'Appolito, the TB120 had just one mid driver) and really enjoyed them too:

Hi,
I have a pair of the Audioengine A5+ connected do my main PC, and a pair of the Edifier R1100 (cost something like US$75, nine years ago) connected to a Raspberry Pi 4B, in other enviroment. The Edifiers when set up with the bass knob to minimum, and close to the wall, sounds equilibrated, and have a surprisingly directivity and soundstage, to my ears !
