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

1979-81 - Poineer 3 ways - had a carbon/graphite woofer (I was in high school in Germany when I got the hifi bug. Worked for Kenwood in the military outlets as a sales rep part time.)

81-85: Infinity RS II, purchased in Germany for $571 pair. Sold for $1500 when I returned to DC to go to college. Too big for dorm, needed money.

86-89: Used dad's Pioneer CS-88A from early 70s.

90-03: Suffered with Infinity SM #@$%#. Was into career, wife, family, didn't listen to much music although still managed to amass a decent CD collection.

October 2003: Longing for that Infinity RSII sound that is imprinted in my memory, I stumbled on Dali Grands and will live happily ever after. They don't sound like those 2 emits, 3 mids and 2 woofs that I used to have but they exceed my requirements. Purchased on Audiogon.
