Everything as it sits for now is listed below. The M-Ls were a present from my mother,I've had them for 6 years, I believe they were built in the mid to late 80's. They were the first of the curvealinier line or the first series to have the curved 'stat panel for better disspertion. These are not for everyone, they are a very demanding mistress. Proper placement in a proper room is mandatory, along with a high current, powerfull amp and great sounding preamp and sources but get it right and the words "spooky" and "scary" are often heard from my non-audiophile friends, they often call when they get a new CD and what to hear it over here. They go back home and enjoy it on what they have perfectly happy, which I find very cool. I love playing DSOTM on the lowly Lux and stopping to flip the tape, and watch the "that was a cassette"*eyepop*
The 'Logans double as my 2-channel HT set-up, I don't need any additional speakers, since they use the room as a cabinet if you will. If a door slams or a bomb explodes way to the right, that's where you hear it. None of my equipment has decoding so I have no idea how this works as good as it does. Likewise if David Gilmour is sitting on a stool plucking an acoustic guitar, that's where he is in the room. K, enough on my pride and joys.....
Based on many accolades on the baby AR 4x's I picked some up. put them in the big room. I played these non stop for about 5 days, switching back to the M-Ls for reality checks, no comparison but, they are just so musical, enthraling is a good word for them, and how did Roy Allison get that much bass from a tiny speaker?? After you just sit and listen you don't notice the short comings at all, they do like some good clean power as well. And a re-cap is in the works.
The DCM's are in the Rock room as I like to call it. They just rock out so well, bass can be bring the cops to the door, vibrate nic knacks off shelves, accurate, hell no but, who really cares, it's a seperate system for a seperate sound, they boogie in their own special way.
I can't forget my favorite the Pilot, I haven't opened the back in awhile, IIRC there's big 15" Jensens with 20lb magnets with a mid and what looks like a piezo tweeter with the famous SA 232 el84 amp, this is by far the most musical of all, I only listen to classical on the college station on weekends on it, I've broke down in tears many times listening to this console. It brings me closer to God. And it's 50 years old and needs a complete refurb, says alot about the good ol' stuff....eh?
