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

My speaker evolution/de-evolution are as follows:
Micro-acoustics model? (high school)
Bose 301's-they were small and cranked at the boarding school.
Ohm Model H's-nice sound but kept blowing the drivers REPEATEDLY.

B&W DM330 or DM100 (can't remember)College-small monitors for a dorm room. Nice lower end but too congested up top. Highs sounded muffled.
ADSL710-Nice on Jazz and vocals but to jazzy on rock.
Camber LS7-laid back canadian sound on a beer budget.

Paradigm Monitor 3 v2 (new apartment)-good budget speaker before I got a sub
Vandersteen 2ci-great on jazz and vocals as well as acoustic stuff but somehow not good with the Metallica/Creed thing.
Paradigm Studio 80's v2-My new thing that handles most of what I listen to.

I have been all over the place with the speaker set ups. I can only listen to speakers for about 3 years max and then really look forward to moving on to something else. Figure I will hang with the studio's then either make a move to Revel F30's or Odyssey Legato/Lorelei's. But that will be awhile as I just got the 80's
