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

Here is my progression starting with my first pair...

1. KLH Model 38
2. Avid 102
3. ADS L520 - Still have them in a secondary system and they are in pristine condition. Love 'em!
4. Wharfedale Diamond 9.6
5. Vienna Acoustics Bach Grands - currently the mains in my primary system and I love these too.
