I usually listen to whatever is set up at the time.

When I make speakers, they usually are the ones to listen to to
get to know them, and adjust. Sometimes it takes weeks.

I do have some store bought models mostly used for comparisons.
Little boxes, NHT, PSB, Paradigm.
I want a set of Axiom's.

I also have a set of JBL 8 inch speakers which I have reserved for general listening
since they reproduce the spectrum pretty well. I bought them used for cheap.
Went over them, tightened up screws, soldered crimps, treated the mid cones, and woofer surrounds.
Adjusted the crossover so 1 or 2 dB was taken off the top end, since they were too bright.

Basement system has a set of a/d/s L8's, driven by Technics receiver.

Upstairs in the studio....
Mains; Urei 809A's with an Electrovoice EVX180 in a TL enclosure, Crown
Powered.
Hi-Fi reference, it's between a set of JBL L112's and a Set of a/d/s L580's,
Powered with either an old Kenwood receiver or a Rebuilt Scott 299C tube
amp. Sometimes I bust out the homebrew monoblocks but they warm the room
considerably.

Garage rig (another Hi-Fi reference for consumer level) Big, Nasty, Rock-em
Sock-em Jensens with a 15" woofer and a tiny magnet, a cone mid and a cone
tweet, they get loud but don't go as low as you would think. Powered by a
Phase Linear (flame linear) Model 400.

Right now in my office I'm listening to a set of KLH Model 38's (quite old)
driven by a set of Dynaco MKIII amps.

BSR WSP-5 amplified subwoofer with KLH TW-09B satellite speakers.

(That configuration doesn't give wall-shaking low bass below 30 Hz, but is
more than adequate for most music, movies, video games, and even just
watching TV at moderate volume levels.)

i read theres very lil music under 27hz.
i mean very low.

[Branden Nelsen]

I have a set of Bose 901v6's. They sound really good. Im still in the market
for some rears and im looking at the PSB's.

HOME
Vintage Energy 22's on 7 component vintage NAD system (Dual 2155 NAD amps
bridged mono for power, with around 125 real watts each, though not real
base boomers , a good clean sound overall).

CAR
Working on a system build-up with 2 Alpine 3533's (sub's), an Alpine 3525
and 2 more Alpine 3523's, with a 3653 Xover so far, more 1 Xover('s) to come
(eBay), ...........all mint vintage Alpine gear, in fact bought some of the
gear new in the '80's. Maybe a parametric Eq as well?

GOOD Old audio gear, like GOOD old girlfriends and cars/trucks, are hard to
get rid of for newer stuff just cause it looks newer.
