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

Ignoring all "boom box" type things, here's my evolution:

PSB Alpha's (the original version from the early-mid 90's purchased in my late-teens)
PSB Stratus Bronze
Totem Arro
Totem Hawk
Verity Audio Parsifal Encore

So it's a short list...I tend to get attached to speakers, so don't change them all that often compared to some.

i really enjoyed them all except for the 901s. horrible speaker
Sansui sp-5500's before and now some New and Improved BOSE 901 series 6 mk2's. These 901's have many of the qualities of my friend's Quad ESL-57's BUT the 901's play much louder !
1980's I was 10 years old at the start:
Bose 201 v2-I liked them.

Altec 887 a capri

Custome built pair with 15" JBL K130's and Altec Horns

Paradigm MK7se towers-

KRK Powered Rokit 8's-Used for recording, but nice also for post production sessions.

B&W 804 Matrix-Very musical, love this speaker, forgiving, crazy soundstage.

PSB Stratus Mini-also very musical, cannot play very loud

Modded Klipshorns-With the right amplification, I have not heard another speaker with as much dynamics. Hard to get right, but great when you do.

Bay Audio Bebop-Very warm, well built

KRK 7000B-Awesome, just awesome...

Vienna Acoustic Bach Grands- Pretty speaker, very detailed, heavy bottom end. Not sure what I think about this speaker yet. Having a hard time getting them dialed in.
Radio Shack DIY,ADS 2ways, Linn Kans, Activ Linn Kabers; Wisdom Audio D75,then in 2010 bought the Magico v2. The V2's are another performance level.
