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

All my first speakers were car audio, so Ill skip all that.

Boston Acoustics VR-975 $160 pair (Got them discontinued, normally about $800 a pair)

Boston Acoustics VR-C $300 Center channel (4" Blew and I dont remember what I did with this. I think I returned it for the next one.)

Infinity Kappa Ceneter Channel (Too bright so I sold it.)

Then I sold my VR-975's and came home one day to.

ONE OF THE LAST BRAND NEW PAIRS OF DUNLAVY SC-II's. ($2500)

DUNLAVY SC-I as center channel. ($1500)

Custom Dunlavy Tri-polar speakers. (Dont even know the name, one of two pairs ever made in the world. (Priceless))

Westinghouse Boombox speakers (Free) Using these as surrounds since I dont have anything else.

I plan on building the Custom Dunlavy's properly one day and using them as either main's or surrounds.

But it does make me happy to read all these post's and see people who have gotten a pair of dunlavy's and just stopped. Because, so far I have heard Kef, Def-Tech, B&W, Martin Logan, Magnepan, Etc, Etc, Etc and I have heard nothing better than the dunlavy's.
