Does anyone else suffer from the "depends on what I'm listening to" syndrome? I would have six pair of speakers if my wife would let me. The K-horns, Altecs, and old JBL horns were fantastic for old Riverside jazz remasters and such or Wagner at stun-volume, but the TQWT or Voigt cabinets with fullrange drivers are nice for either of those at more moderate levels, or piano, acoustic guitar, string quartets, etc... Then the Magnepans were ideal for female vocals, and the old JBL monitors could handle everything thrown at them (a "jack of all trades" if you will) fairly well. Each is kind of "tuned" to it's specialty, or in the case of the JBL's, tuned to do everything PRETTY well, but really excel at nothing in particular.
I won't even get into the swapping in and out of components that I do, too...
