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

Well...It all started when I was about 15 yrs old. My dad and I built a pair of speakers from some scraps of plywood left over from the new garage he had just finished.
Next came my first real quality speakers...Acoustic Research AR-12 circa 1977...kept those until about 1986 when I fell in love with some Polk Monitor 10B's a friend of mine was wanting to sell.Kept those for a few years-Then I upgraded in the Polk line-up to SDA1 (really liked the imaging of those). Next came my first real hi-end speakers....Dunlavy SCIII....next...Legacy Focus (to much bass- was a constant sruggle to get them to sound right). Then, I went vintage and bought a real nice pair of upgraded Bozak B-4000 Symphony's in 2004, which I am using now.
My next speaker is being built for me, as I write this..Tyler Acoustics Woodmere...Probably wont need to upgrade for quite some time with these in my system. Here's a link to a pic , if your interested...
