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

1959 Zenith Console - Gift from parents (Had nothing to compare them to, I just remember that they made sounds)
1970 Small Advents - $200 (Love Loved These for years)
1983 Time Windows - $600 (Loved These guys Very Much)
1987 Merlin 2 Way Tower - $1000 (Love/Hate)
1988 Merlin Excaliburs $2500 (No Love Just Hate)
1990 Dahlquist DQ-10 Free (Loved These Guys a Lot)
2000 Merlin TSM $2500 (Very Disliked, Got Rid of within 60 Days)
2000 Revel F30 $1500 (Love Loved These Guys, Killed me to sell)

in 2008 I lost my long time dedicated listening room in exchange for a new wife. Now I'm relegated to listening to a diminished system in one of our bedrooms (it's still wonderful but a mere shadow of my old system).

2008 NHT Classic 3s - $500 (Love Them, Unbelievable sound at this price point)

I'd love to get a pair of Revel F52s and set up another system in the family room but that will have to wait until a death or a divorce occurs (whichever comes first).
