    In order (sorry no where near 10)
    AE 109 Pretty good mid but that was it
    Jamo Concerts 8 Really hard to partner well one of those speakers that impressives first time you hear them and then
    Silverline SR17 Lovelly standmounts just in the end not enough bass for me
    Wharfedale Opus 3 Nice speakers only reason I sold them was Open baffles just do everything better
    Hawthorne Duet Just love these speakers no intention of replacing them but if room was bigger would move up to the Trio version
    Loves anything from Pain of Salvation to Jeff Buckley to Django to Sarasate to Surinder Sandhu to Shawn Lane to Nick Drake to Rush to Beth Hart to Kate Bush to Rodrigo Y Gabriela to The Hellecasters to Dark Sanctury to Ben Harper to Karicus to Dream Theater to Zero Hour to Al DiMeola to Larry Carlton to Derek Trucks to Govt Mule to?

    Humour: One of the few things worth taking seriously

    Currently;

    Mission 753s (with monacor drivers, really transforms them)
    Mission 780SEs (as above) * 3 pairs (have to agree with Mark about these)
    Bose Acoustimas MS1s (used as rear surrounds, quite good for this purpose)
    Wharfedale diamond 9.0 (the missus uses these with her laptop, a bit woolly)
    Mission 780C (no longer used as I put the centre channel through the R & L, which is much better)

    Previously (in chronological order);

    Gooodmans RB20s
    Wharfedale Lintons
    Kef Coda 3s
    Mourdant Short (err MS1's perhaps)
    Mission 760is

    I think that's about it...
    Cheers, Will

    One or two pairs, that sounded great in the shops listening room, but crap in my house

    out of my list not all are good ... especially the tiny tannoys and monitor audio radius ... both are only of any use as rear speakers
