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

Sequence is probably wrong and I'm sure I omitted at least half a dozen "one-nighters". I had IMFs and JBLs and Symdex. It's starting to come back to me. Snell, ADS, Rogers, Proac.......I don't know.......I did a lot of trading.
Remember Audio Mart?
