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

Jeez, I can't remember what I paid for my speakers, but here's the list:

Mission
Ohm Walsh
Apogee Duetta II
Spica Angelus
Celestion 600's
Martin Logan Quest Z *
Mirage Oasis *
YBA
B&W 302 *
B&W 601
B&W 303 *
B&W LM1 *
Totem Rokk
Gallo Micros *
Wharfdale 7.2
Martin Logan Aerius *
Apogee Cephus 6
ProAc Tablette 2000 *

I own multiple systems, the items in asterix I still own. I'm pretty sure I forgot a pair or two along the way, believe it or not. And my favourites: The Duettas, Martin Logan's, Totem, and Proac. The Spicas and Celestions did some things real well too. The B&W's are impossible to beat for the money. Damn, I think I've owned about 6000lbs worth of speakers over the last 25 years!

Sean, that's painful. You drank the Bose Koolaid eh? Glad to see you climbed out of the rut and came over from the dark side. Betcha those Bose speakers burn great though!
