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

Radio Shack MC-1000's about $80/pair
B&O S45-II's paid $275 in 1978 (wish I'd never sold them)
Fried Q's $300/pair I think
Mission 717's a gift I think they listed for $600 bought for $400 1983
Mourdant Short Festival's for a second system
Vandersteen 2ci's bought used for $600 in 2002

What I wanted but couldn't afford at the time:
Infinity Qb's 1976
Stacked Advent's 1977
Magnepan's 1978
Fried W's in cherry 1979
Linn Isobarik's 1980
Infinity RS 2.5 1980
Mission 770's 1982
B&W DM7 1982
