Here's a brief history of my setups:
This was when I was living in my first apartment with my fiancee. The Polks I actually got for free from work at the time. They were going to be recycled, so I ended up taking them home, and the sounded wonderful! I still have these, however they currently sit and are not in use.
I picked up the B&W CM9's from work for a hell of a deal (1/2 off), and grabbed the Klipsch sub off Newegg on a Black Friday deal. I ended up selling the sub, as I also have a Mirage OmniS-10 sub that works really well.
At this time I had moved back in with my parents for a little while to save up some money. Found these pair of Vienna Acoustic Mozart Grand's at work for $300/pr (retail for ~$3000), as they were a bit beat up, and both tweeters were shot. I replaced both tweeters (~$150), so I managed to have an amazing set of speakers for a hell of a deal. I ended up selling these for a decent profit, however I still regret selling these, as they are still some of my favorite speakers I've heard.
This was my setup after selling the Vienna Acoustics, moving my PC out of my bedroom, and picked up a Music Hall mmf2.2-le turntable. I also ended up getting a Music Hall Acrylic Platter, Denon DL-110 Cartridge, Phono Box S, Speed Box S, and the Alchemist Record Clamp. It sings quite beautifully!
This was at my last apartment with my fiancee. I ended up picking up an Adcom GFA-555II Amp for the speakers, as the amp section on my Pioneer Elite receiver was shot. I've been using the Pioneer Elite as a pre-amp, and it's been working fantastically with the Amp.
I still need to take some pictures of my current setup, I hope to have that done soon! I've also got some Klipsch KG4's that I scored from my boss for free, since he was looking to clear out some space.
