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 remember 3 more pairs I forgot:

Definitive Technology BP-2000 (sold them a week ago, I guess they weren't memorable)
NHT-2.9 (head in a vice good, but otherwise...)
Design Acoustics PS-10
I'm sure I'm leaving out bunches...
Texas42,

Cheeze man, you've really run the gamut!

Lots of good designs there. You must have heard it all!
I've listened to a lot more than I've owned and there are still a few out there I want to try someday (KEF 107.2, KEF 104.2, Ohm Walsh 5, etc). Couldn't afford them when they came out. Thats the great thing about pre-owned gear; one can finally afford them...
If you liked the older Walshes, you'll love the newer series 3 line. 100's cost under $2000 and sound much like Walsh 5 in the average room. Walsh 5 does more in larger rooms and has level adjustments, but these are not needed for most music in most rooms if you have flexibility in placement, room tuning, etc. (check out my review of the 100's I have posted here which apples to apples compares them to old Walsh 2's and newer Walsh 5's).
RADIO SHACK ???? THEY WERE 4" DEEP THEY SUCKED 1981
BOSE 301 1984 THEY GOT ME EVICTED
PARADIGM 9S ,STUDIO MONITERS ,PS1200 SUBS 1991 ,THEY STILL SOUND GOOD.
LEGACY FOCUS 2001 I LOVE THEM MY MAIN RIGS
CARVER PLATM AMAZINGS 2008 HEY THEY LOOK GREAT ANYWAY.
