x2. It's really impractical/impossible to listen to music on a speaker-based system in that situation.

BTW, congratulations on the new baby!

If I lived back in my house and not an apartment, I'd listen to speakers. My father used to have a great set-up in his study where the desk faced his hi-fi system. That I'd love.

100% headphones, not counting in the time I listen music in a car or watch movies from TV that is.

This is mainly out of necessity though. I live in an apartment so constant speaker listening is a no-no, and rather volatile nature of my music doesnt necessarily help building peacefull harmony between me, my family and my neighbours...

If I ever move to house, I will build a good speaker rig as well and blast the bejeezus out of them. I have always been AND will remain a headphone fan, but there simply is stuff headphones cant do... and I miss my rather low-fi DIY inspired speaker rig I used to have before moving to aparment building, it was so fun and headbanging.

50/50 here.

1981 Klipsch La Scalas driven by 300B monoblocks. Sitting 10' from these ...right in the sweet spot is to die for.

Gotta feel the whole room shake sometimes.

headphones in the morning and evening .. La Scalas for rockin out. Honestly .... I would give up my HP system before I gave up this system.

As seen in the "listen area" thread:

Thanks, it really was great news and we found out on Christmas to top it off.

But anyway back to the topic at had.

Wow, jealous. The speakers look a little close together though.

I do almost all listening with headphones, except when I'm home alone.

At one point they had their name on some Auratone-like cube speakers (I doubt they actually made them, AKG rebranded a lot of specialized gear), but those aren't the kind of thing you'd use to listen to music for enjoyment on.

Those are beutifull looking speakers and no doubt nice to listen to.

For me 75% listening of audio throught headphones. The rest goes to speakers on social occasions.

 

[in_utero]

70/ 30

Headphones-
On the way to/ from school: 45%
Regular music listening/ from my computer: 25%

Speakers-
Shower: 25%
Other: 5%

 

[Shauntell47]

HPs for commuting, at home, sweeping my room (biannual) ----> 95%
speakers for gaming (just a bit of madden 04 sometimes)
with JBL Creature II ---> 5%

 

[pabbi1]

For me, it seems more source driven... especially with the Blue Hawaii down. So, about 25% on speaker (HD radio), 55% headphone and 20% car (Acura is surprisingly good).

Serious GAS attack - Klipschorns are just a bit too big, but I have always loved La Scalas... the form is as important as the performance, and that provides both. Thanks for jogging my memory.

About 90 % HP. Sharing room sucks
