Personal speaker evolution


OK, so here is a thread I haven't ever seen here: What speakers have you owned? starting with the earliest, price paid, new/used, and perhaps the models that really impressed you (for the price) in CAPS.

Rat Shack Something or others, $120, new
Fisher Something or others, $280, new
ADS L710's, $550, new
Snell A2i's, $1100, used
BEVERIDGE SYSTEM 3'S, $1000, used
Martin Logan CLS, $1400, used
MARTIN LOGAN SL3'S, $2300, used

Well my list isn't near as impressive let me see where to start??

Well when I was 16 years old I bought a pair of Avalon Acoustic Eclipse, 4 years later I still have them and am saving for an upgrade. So yup in 4 years the only component I have never changed was my speakers, though they are now on the list, not that they will be changed any time soon:) its always nice to have a fall back plan!!

Good thread!
AR-14 ($200 in 1976 -- reconed once, still own, in son's room)
Thiel CS 2.3 -- traded in for
Thiel CS 6 -- still own, can't bring myself to sell them though I have to
Montana KAS -- Bound for Sound review pair
Paradigm 100 v2 (w matched center & rear -- home theater)
Infinity 10" subwoofer ($150?)
Plus, lots of home demos -- B&W, Klipsch, Definitive Tech...
Plus, several inexpensive small bookshelves: not Bose ;-)
As you can tell, I was an audiophile wannabe for a long time but didn't hit it hard until about 5 years ago.
Cheers.
Hmm- of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. Prices have completely disappeared, but I bet I've got a pretty good handle on the speakers.
