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

You always remember your first love. The Ohm's were an incredible speaker (especially when you're only 12 years old!) and I have fond memories of just sitting in my bedroom and enjoying the music. The Platinums are still the best speakers that I've ever owned and I regret parting with them. There is, however, something that's just "right" about the Magnepans...very musical.
