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

Longines Symphonette plastic shoeboxes (part of a "record player" system) > Emerson Electronics plastic shoeboxes (part of my first "real" stereo system) > Panasonic (part of an all-in-one reveiver, turntable, 8-track player package) > Mission 717's > "better" Missions (model # long forgotten) > Miller & Kriesel Satellite/subwoofer system > B&W "600 something" stand mounted monitors > Vandersteen 1C's.
Not too many over the years, but each set was quite enjoyable while I had them.......

Panasonic's (part of an all in one system)..... 1973 - 1981
Mission 717's ..... 1981 - 1987
Miller & Kriessel sub/sat system ..... 1987 - 1994
NHT Model One's (with M&K sub) ..... 1994 - 1997
Vandersteen 1C's ..... 1997 - present.

For now, I'm hooked on the Vandersteens. They make music sound like music.
