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

scott something or another. 8" alinco woofer 2.5" paper tweeter pick them up on my way home from work when i was 16 some set them out for the trash. carried them home on a bike.

Pair i made had a sony 6920 6x9 remover the tweeter and glued on a dust cap and added a radio shack horn tweeter.

polk audio 5b loved these but just could not play loud.

pair i made 8" kicker with a 3x7 peizeo horn loud and clean.

went back to my 5bs' for a while

polk audio 10b

Advent Maestro

pair of subs I built using jbl 128h

sub i build using a JBL 2240g in a 10cuft box 124db at 40hz at 10feet 131 at 3 and could still do 118 db at 20hz at 3feet.

pair i built using klipsch 1079sv 5.25" drivers and a vifa d-19 tweeter

bought a pair of Panasonic sb600 at a gearge sale just to hear what they sounded like (awfull)

various speakers i have upgrade along the way.

latest project is to be
a 2 way using a jbl 2206 or a jbl 2214 as the 12" lf driver and selium d210ti drivers ona 6x11 horn crossover at 800hz
expetecd response should be 40-20k flat with 96db /1w/m and a max output around 116db with the 2214 and 124db with the 2206.
