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

Very impressive lists for some of you folks.

I'll have to shamefully admit that i too have owned Blose: 301's, 501's, 601's and 901's. Had my first component system when i was 13 and that included the 301's. It only got worse from there until i finally saw the light. That is, the lights that they use in some of their crossovers. YES, they do use lightbulbs in some of the older models. That and some of the worst wiring you'll ever see. Sean

Sheesh, some of you folks amaze me to say the least. I'd like to have some of the "old junks" from some of those lists : ) Quite impressive to say the least.

Having that many different speakers and the associated listening / fine tuning experiences is a great education in itself, isn't it ? It's just amazing to me how much one component change can make in terms of system synergy with each different set of speakers.

It's good to know that there are quite a few "equipment junkies" here on A-gon : ) Sean
