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

started by cobbling anythig that was free. But did buy a realistic solo 103 raw speaker to play with. Also a pair of Utah 8 0r 10 shortly thereafter.
Next, 3 way with a Lafayette 12 woofer, University CM8 (?) midrange & a Lafayette 3x9 (?) horn tweeter.

Next (1969) the keeper, Altec 511b/802d (later upgraded to 808-8a)& 2 416a in a somewhat large infinite baffle.

Also along the way: Onkyo 25, Altec 834a (dual woofers & horn tweeter) JBL L100 (with vertical layout, not staggered) Jensen TF 3B with ratty enclosures, Bozak Ba 199c(?) finally a (project) Altec (late model) with 2 8" carbon fiber woofers
(bad surrounds) All of the above get occasional use.
