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

A little JCPenny's bookshelf system to Sony SSU-1250s (I think...around 1978) to Polk RTA 12s to Thiel CS2s to Thiel CS 3.6s. Dunlavy 4s possible next or Thiel CS 6s or 7.2s.

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.
