who has this problem and what did you do?It seems I went off the deep end about a year ago, and have about 8 prs of speakers, All diferent in their own way. I have three systems up and running that I listen too. I have to get rid of some of them. I want to keep two systems.
Magies - I'm tired of the 6ft monolith's but they they image better than all and have that audiophile sound.
Klipsch Lascalla's Great impact,Imaging is good, very eficient works with all my amps. - Fatiguiging -also another set of masive speakers.
Fostex 166 BLH I built and have the best real bass and musically of all of them, Then again I'm using a SET amp. Not to big but nice size. Only issue is cant fill a big room 13 x14 ok but not in my living room 28 x 14
Bozak's - B3001 concertos rebuilt - Lovem, great non fatiguing, great bass, even love the furnature look with new grill cloth. Size is livable. Seems my only issue is they cant be audiophile becuase they arnt sterile. But i can listen to these all day.
Mission 782's - Great mid-fi speaker work well with my amps, tube or SS just nothing spectacular.
Then some other homemade - EV B12b in a carlson Pipe - no bass
Other homemade Vifas - sound great with my sub almost knock the house down with punch and imaging.

I suppose with 8 pairs of speakers in your hour, it might be hard to chose based on how they sound. But how you write about the speakers makes "your" choice seem obvious. Keep the Bozaks.Your description of the Bozaks is that they are non-fatiguing, you can listen to them all day but their singular failing is that they aren't analytical.
It might be that collecting 8 pairs of speakers isn't about getting a musical sound, but about scratching an itch. It seems to me one of the most enjoyable part of being an audiophile is about the "discovery process." What does what to the sound that in turn does what to your enjoyment. Maybe that's what you're doing, or maybe it isn't. But it might be that there is some exploration going on that you are impelled to go check speakers out. If that's the case, on the outside looking in, it would seem a wise thing to keep one or two pairs of speakers, dump the others, and resume the exploration with another six pairs of speakers, and then . . . .

Tellig at SP had the new ones and liked them. If anything it seemed like they were rolled off.
aBout 1988, I redid the AA crossover with new caps and have just ordered some damping stuff for the mid horn...maybe that will tone them down.They have the alnico magnets and the K43 pro woofer
maggies - do you like them? sounds like you are saying that audiophiles think they sound good, but you don't necessarily have any passion for them.klipsch la scala. sounds like they are efficient, but you really don't like the sound and size. sell them and keep the fostex you built.
fostex - keep 'em, sell the klipsch. I'm sure you did a great job with the cabinets, but it's hard to sell DIY speakers anyway. so, just keep them.
Bozak. i used to have 302A Urbans. LOVED THEM! but, too big for our small place. so i traded a friend for his KEF 104/2. still miss the bozaks though.
aren't the 301 concerto smaller than the urbans? if so and you dig the bozak sound, why not sell them and get some Urbans? the 5 cubic foot space is what the woofers really need. and you get that glorious B209B midrange.
or go nuts and get the bozak symphony. 2 woofers, either the B209B 6" mid or the B800 8" mid and 8 B200Y tweeters.
I'd sell the missions. you have other speakers that do what they do, but better.
see ya,
Robby
I have a storage area in my basement (under the steps) special for extra speakers. Once in a while i pull out something different... once in a while i sell something. Good luck figuring it all out.
