My modest collection

[Dougal1331]

Well, the speaker side anyway.
I've thought about thinning the herd quite often, but it never seems to happen!
Also have Mission 753s in the lounge, and 751s on the pc rig.

This is my bedroom. Telly sounds via A400, and currently the 761s...

Quite a collection!

Loved the Mission 75 range.

 

[Revolutions]

Cool! What’s your favourite pair?

How does the contact cleaner sound? Heard it really sprays out sound.

Loved the Mission 75 range.

I have 751s with a Marantz 6004 on the PC, and upgraded 753s (tweeters, x-over) with an Audiolab 6000A on the main rig. Photos when tidied...
The 752Fs have new Seas tweeters, and are absolutely phenomenal.
If I sell others, it'll be the 75s that stay!

😂 The spray is to service a few scratchy amps. It just happens to be where it is!
My favourites are any of the Missions.
If I had to choose one at gunpoint, I'd probably say the 752F

Nice!

Back in the day (between me and a friend I lived with), we had 750LE, 751, 752F, 753F, 754F, 75C and 75AS. Basically the whole range. 😊

😆 That's the best photo I've seen on this forum 👍

I've pretty much done the same, just not all at the same time!
731, 732, 760i, 761, 761i, 771e, 773e, 780 (both versions), 781 (new version), 751, 752F, 753
Still have 6 of those now 😉

I had the original little 700s for years - very nice - sold them to a mate.
Several years later he gave them back to me....but the mid / bass surrounds had crumbled to dust ☹️

I'm just trying to imagine the sound with them all connected!

I remember when magazine reviewers came up with the (reasonable) theory that other (unconnected) speakers could affect the ones you were listening to in a demo room.
(Not such a crazy theory when you think about it - especially at higher volumes).

Of course in Dougal's case, there's no question of some audible influence 😆

 

[Jasonovich]

Wow that's 20:1, do you have Atmos? 😂
Amazing collection.

I wouldn't have enough space for all those which is why I only own two pairs.
The only two I have considered worthy of keeping in my new home.
Well more actually if you include the 6 Quad speakers that I have as my home audition set-up.

Speakers are the window of your soul.
The more the merrier 😊

That's a fantastic collection do they all still work why so many ? I bet your neighbours love you 😁👍

Everything works, bar the first edition 780s slap bang in the middle. Blew the woofers out on NYE in the pub a few years ago. Have a donor set of 753s so just need to transplant drivers.
Why so many? I just like speakers. And I'm possibly a bit weird, I dunno 😂

Oh absolutely. But this just does the telly, at low volumes in my bedroom so isn't really an issue.
Wouldn't set the main rig up like this!

I have enough amplification to drive them all together.
It's a thing I may try for a laugh at some point!

Fortunately, and although I have been through a few in my time, I can only listen to one pair at a time.
The rest are money in the bank whose worth are declining with time.....
Personally I see no reason to keep all those speakers unless you have limitless funds to buy better.

Quite true!
I will likely move a few pairs on over the coming months. I'll be keeping the 75s (and possibly the Studio 0.5s) though 😉
