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

3 way US made $150 speakers -- 1983 - 1990
2 way 1979 vintage EPI bookshelves on stands, modified crossovers with good components -- 1990 - 2005
Kef Reference 102 on stands -- 2005 - 2010
Quad ESL-63 on Arcici stands -- March 28, 2010 - ?

The Kefs are really decent speakers. But, I am ecstatic to own the Quads. I have been waiting for them since working in high-end audio from 1989 to 1992. The Kef 102's were one of my favorite 2 way speakers while working in audio.
