What's everyone's speaker setup?

Personally I use my dad's system, which consists of Tannoy Sterling SE, Quad 606 pre-amp, amp and CD player.
He bought it 10 or so years ago and lugged it around across three countries.

Maybe I'll add pics later.

Swans M200s. I'm eventually going to get a T-amp (the $40 one) and some decent speakers for $300 or $400. For now, they're just fine.

a pair of bookshelf Wharfedale Crystals, to some audioquest cable to my Marantz 2226. gets the job done, suprisingly kicky in the bass for bookshelves.

I use my dad's too occassional. Monitor Audio RS8 + Cyrus 8vs + some NAD CD player. There also another one in the living, Wharfedale Pacific Evo-30 with a Pioneer VSX series AV receiver and a vintage Marantz special edition CD player.

Then of course theres my crappy room setup

My speaker/amp setup are twice my age, and sound surprisingly good for the LOW,LOW price of $150USD!

Dynaco A-25 bookshelves -> 14GA copper Ultralink cables -> Kenwood KA-3500 integrated.

I went DIY for my speakers, as well. I use:

1. Verhagen Ribbons, built from the plans in his books. They cut off a bit below 350Hz, but are flat above that. I've had them almost four years, and they continue to impress. They were the first "real" hi-fi gear I had. Total cost to build was around $300. If you're interested in ribbons, I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have a freaky ability to reproduce voices; I've accidentally left them on and come back thinking there were people in the house when it was just the radio. Creepy, but it's the closest to live I've heard.

2. Cloned ProAc 2.5 Response speakers. Great bass and great across the board. I used the optional notch filter and these are very well balanced and have a wonderful soundstage. Total cost was around $1,000 and they were relatively easy to build, but took a lot of time to get everything right.

3. Moth Audio Cicada singledrivers. Great imaging and an uncanny lifelike presence. The drivers are still available for $119 each over at Eddie Current, and I think they're a steal. Plans are there too, and I spend about $300 on them.

I'm not sure where I'll go next. I might try my hand at restoring a pair of Quad ESL-57s. I've always liked those, and an electrostat would make a nice addition to the collection.
