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

Definitive Technology BP 7004's

I recently downgraded, sold all my equipment and as a stop gap bought some Def Tech 7004's so I wouldn't need a sub, and we watch a lot of movies. Don't go crazy at this, but they sound great. Surprisingly so. No, they don't sound as good as my last set up, but I added a small 2 channel amp to my Denon 4306 receiver to drive the front speakers, and they really came alive. For the price, with the exception of the Maggie 3.6's, they are best speakers I have owned, and some of the best that I have heard.

Dawg-Fish, love the 5a's. I keep thinking about moving to those, what a great speaker. But then I would have to change all of my upstream components too. Well, maybe that's a great plan, a whole new system!!
