Not sure about 'menjoyable' either Andre, is that something that goes on in Brighton...

Haven't owned 10 speakers and will only list those I enjoyed:

Cambridge R40 - transmission lines using KEF drivers and my first taste of proper hi-fi
JBL L-100T - great titanium tweeter, fantastic tight bass
IPL S5TL - more transmission lines, good all-round sound
JM Lab Mezzo Utopia - a real taste of the high end, fabulous open midrange
Usher Dancer Be-20 - what I have now and not likely to be replaced

[MartinT]

Is there an echo in here?

[WAD62]

I know. It wouldnt let me alter the mistake, i don't wanna be giving out the wrong impressions

I've done it myself...

Couldn't resist the opportunity of a cheap joke....

[WAD62]

Bump...

[DSJR]

You know, I don't think I've owned ten pairs of speakers, but here goes on some favourites..

Epos ES14
Spendor BC1
Spendor BC2
ATC SCM20
ATC SCM20 ASL Pro
ATC SCM100A
AVI Positron
AVI N5
Harbeth HL5
Musical Technology Harrier SE's

Actually, I've owned a few more goodies

Linn Isobariks (two pairs)
Yamaha NS1000M's

And that's not forgetting the Keilidh's, Rega Alya's, Heybrook HB2's and B&O X25's (Dad ended up with the last three at different times), Snell E's (ugghh!), Kans (ugghh ugghh) and Audiomaster Image 1's and 2's

I've auditioned a lot of speakers at home but only owned 3 sets.

1. Meridian DSP5000 (worked up from a pair to 5 of them when I thought DVD Audio was the future and before I came to understand their weaknesses). Sold them for:
2. Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage which do everything right except scale and impact. Still have them but they're supplanted in the system by:
3. Usher BE10 which have all the clarity and musicality of the Guarneri's plus scale and impact

The only speakers I have ever owned that were truly memorable were original QLN Mk1's and Audio Note AZ-2's. The QLN's were used with Naim amplification whilst the AZ-2's used single ended valve stuff. Why do we get rid of them...???

[Reid Malenfant]

Hmmm, difficult... I guess i'd better start with what i still have

Yamaha NS1000M (3 pairs), 1 set of enclosures left (mint)
Sansui SP-100i (incredible little stand mounts)
Celestion Ditton 66 (wrong tweeters but what the heck)
Mordaunt Short Pageant series II (in the shed & sound great )
Tannoy SENSYS DCC (pair of centre speakers for a project)
Mission 780se (tiny things but superb)
Castle Trent (same as the above but without as deep bass)


previously...

Wharfedale Dovedale SP (I think, first biggish speakers i ever owned, loadsa fun )
Wharfedale TSR110 (more civilised than the above, rebuilt with bits from the below & sold for 4 times what i payed for them)
KEF Cadenza (a bit woolly but great for £20)


I'm sure there has been more & i'm sure there are more still here But that's 10...
