Actually, 30 years old. :p

Magnepan MG-I's (slightly modified)
each with it's own M-200
One of these for the center
Jamo 201's surrounds
Subwoofer based on one of these

Mirage OM-5 mains.
Mirage OM-C2 Center.
Eventually (hoping) Mirage OM-R2 surrounds and rears.

I was running an Outlaw 1050 with 1977 Klipsch Cornwalls and 4 Klipsch Heresys. For two channel I had a hot rod Dynaco ST-70 tube amp with vintage Scott 355 pre-amp.

I like Rockets but if you are looking for an alternative then GR-Research would be someone I would investigate in that price range.

In my book, only things that no longer satisfy a need or criteria are obsolete. Just because an item is old does not make it obsolete. Just look at the age of the Universe; way over 10 billion years old and it is nowhere near obsolete. If age was a criteria for obsolescence, my stable of Bugatti Royales would have been scrapped years ago, if I had any.

front: Acoustat 2+2s
rear: Acoustat 1+1s

No center channel although I have been thinking about using some extra Acoustat parts to make one.

NHT VT1's (mains & rears)
NHT VT1c (center)
NHT SW2 & SW3 (subs)

These 12 yr old NHTs are no longer sold, and the new NHT offerings aren't nearly as efficient!

A fellow Wichitian....that's pretty cool!

For everyone else...

Thanks for all of your posts. I think this is a good thread for anyone that wants to know what kind of equipment us bandits use.

To add to my initial post....Av123's custom service and I have worked out a deal and I will now be keeping my Rocket speakers. They think I am hard headed...but I just wanted a fair shake, and got it. Not that I would deter anyone from trying them because I had a little hiccup...but, I think anyone who is in the market for an upgrade to their system, aught to give these puppies a listen. Truthfully, even though I didn't pick the Axioms over these...I think everyone should give the M60's a listen too (notice I didn't say the M80's that I actually compared). I think the brightness of the M80's is due to them needing to be a room with A LOT OF VOLUME. I think the M60's are probably the ones that you should give a listen too, in a normal living room space.

Thanks again for everyone to posted about their speakers, in the wake of what could have been another lengthy speaker search for me. I'm happy to announce that AV123 and I are back on good terms, and regardless, stop by their site and see if there is anything that suits your fancy. Btw, to those that have answered my line conditioning questions in the past...I noticed they are selling a line conditioner...hmm...might have to give that more of a looking at.

Thanks All!!!
