Where did that user name come from?? Gotta admit it's unique enough to deserve an explanation. Are the speakers you have listed all you have owned previously??
HI!
I'm one of your refugees from the Sound Thinking forums!
The name? It's Russian for "October". I got "October" from a calender years ago when I was trying to think up yet-another-user-name for a forum that I didn't think I would visit more than that one time. I hung out there (part of delphi.com) for a couple of years and the handle just sort of stuck. More recently others have had the same idea, believe it or not, and it's become more and more difficult to find "October" not already reserved by someone else. A few years ago I adopted the Russian spelling (even though I'm not Russian!) just because...
Yes, those are some of the speakers I remember owning.
I've owned a lot of amps, a few pre amps, turntables, etc. too over the years but ultimately I think I am pretty much a "speaker guy". It is, after all, the only component in a stereo directly responsible for reproducing your music. Living in the Seattle area in the age of craigslist made it easy to acquire different gear on what turned into a seasonal hunt for the *ultimate speaker*. I think it's really the journey that has counted and I don't think I'll ever reach it as a destination... but yeah, I've owned lots and lots of speakers. Loving my home made ones now, which I sold the Martin Logans to help finance.
This is a photo of some of the collection I owned a couple of years ago... see how many you can name?
