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

Throughout my college years, I owned a disc jockey service and used stacked advents, Klipsch Lascallas,Altec A-7 voice of the theater's and JBL 300's.Even tried stacking 2 pair of Dayton Wright X-10 Electrostatics....They were truly astounding in the right hall [read large] with the finest bass I have ever heard to date.Unfortunately... My amps at the time[brystons and phase linear]blew up regularly!
I would love to hear them again today in my studio system with some modern day amplification.
