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

Marantz, JBL J-320, Martin Logan Aerius i. Next, maybe a pair of ML Grotto subs for the Aerius i's - if I like how they integrate. The Von Schweikert are a strong candidate also.

Klipsch KG4's used, freebie from neighbor ( his wife said they were too loud LOL
Altec 604 8G in factory 620A oak cabinets ($150) got these about 5 days ago.

Can you tell I am on a pretty tight budget?

Beginning in 1977;

JBL L-26's, sounded hollow, traded em' in on a pair of
AR-12's which I proceeded to blow up. Bought some
AR-11's which I own to this day. In 1992 bought a pair of
Infinity Reference Six's 4-ways which are underappreciated and still running in my reasonably sophisticated rig.
