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

Started with:
Dynaco A-25 40 years ago, then
Kef C-80, PSB4t, Nht Classic 3, PSB t65, psb Stratus Gold.
Speakers tend to be the more stable part of my systems.
Criterion (from Lagayette Radio, remember them?) back in the late '70s, Vandersteen 2ci in the late '80s, Martin Logan Aerius i in the mid '90s, Paradigm Studio 100 v2 since about 2004. I haven't heard anything under $5,000 that's made me want to replace the Paradigms. They're being fed by a Squeezebox Touch though a Plinius 9200.
My post of 5 years ago is a mess. I had a Lafayette all in one stereo system as a pre-teen. Then Klipsch Heresy's at 16 and C38 JBL Signatures with the 030 driver array and Wharfdale somethings in the 80s and 90s then Von Schieckert VR 2s in 2003, then more JBLs C36 030 drivers (2002), then Klipsch Lascalas (2004), Then MY main rig speakers which are JM Lab Electra 936s in 2005, several monitors for secondary systems including NHTs, Merlins, Tannoys and now presently using Hyperion 585s while in exile 2010 to date. Still a mess but a better description of my speaker evolution.
I haven't owned that many in the past-

Rogers LS4a
Harbeth HL-P3 (wish I still had these)

I currently have a few pairs on rotation that I'm going to try hang onto-

Spendor SA 1
Wharfedale Daimond 10.1
Epos ES-12
Usher S-520
Proac Tablette Anniversary
