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

I guess it is time to update my post from 7/29/04:

1989 ALR Nummer 3 stand speakers (DM1600 = $1000)
1998 Mission 751 freedom monitors ($400, regular $800)
2005 Spendor S3/5 ($650, regular $1200)
2005 Omega Super 3 ($550)
2005 Cain & Cain Abby (Fostex FE166E) ($1600)

I hope that's it for a long while. No way I will be getting rid of the Abbys any time in the future.
Okay: Not that I got an upgrade bug or anything in order:
JBL-L150
Yamaha NS-1000M
Magneplanar MG1.6
Linn Tukan
Linn Keilehd (sic)(active crossover)
Vienna Haydn
WattPuppy 5.0
Revel Studio
Sonus Faber Electa Amator II
WattPuppy 6.0
JM Lab Alto Be
Bosendorfor Series 2

I find WattPuppies my favorite, except for one thing, listener fatigue.. The Bosendorfors are in my office; The Alto Be's had to fit the decor and they are in a bright room with no real way to ameleorate the highs. I still remember distinctly how wonderful Flim and the BB's sounded on the Maggies..... I think for shear fun I loved the little Hadn's as an office system.... I guess this makes me the Maye West of speakers...never found one I didn't like something about.
