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

Just realized I should update my original post -- WAY up there on this thread -- since I bought a pair of Gallo Reference 3s about 6 weeks ago. Truly wonderful speakers which I will love until ... the next time.

Mine's a pretty short list,

Assortment of Ghetto Blasters,
TEAC home theater combo set $1500 (including reciever etc.)
Neuance Spatial Grand 3's ($800)
Tannoy Definition D700 ($4600)
Piega P-10's (I imagine for quite some time, do speakers get any better?) ($12,500)

I was really surpised to find the other Piega owners out here, you never hear about these things. So Calloway, let me know how the new C8-ltd's compare!
