Well, let's see. In 2003 I moved into a new house and bought a pair of Paradigm Active 20's, which I played for almost 8-years. I also used Cambridge Soundworks subwoofers with my Active 20's.
I moved into my present home in 2010 and brought my Paradigm Active 20's with me. I placed my subwoofers behind my listening chair about the same distance to my head as the Paradigm's in front.
Then, in 2011 I bought a pair of Dynaudio BM 6A Mk2 Active Monitors. Again, the Cambridge Soundworks subwoofers remained behind my listening chair against the back wall.
I made friends with a couple of audio enthusiasts in the neighborhood and they convinced me that I should replace my Dynaudio Active Monitors with B&W satellite speakers. I couldn't afford the 805 Diamonds so in 2012 I bought the PM1's instead.
The PM1's were just too small to play as loud as I wanted so I made up my mind to buy larger speakers. My son had made friends with Kathy Gornik and her daughter, Dawn. They gave me a tour of the Thiel factory in 2012 and I bought a pair of Thiel CS3.7 B-stock speakers. They had a slight blemish on one of the front baffles so they offered them to me at half price. That deal was just too good to pass up so I stretched my budget to make the purchase. A year or two later I decided to replace my Cambridge Soundworks subwoofers with a new pair of Rythmik Servo Subs so I could place them next to the Thiel's rather than behind my listening chair. That's where I am today and here's the most recent picture.
