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

Fisher 3 ways You have to start with something.

Dahlquist DQ 10 A great speaker. I bet if they would be competitive today.

Acoustat 4 - A great company that was a victim of HPs apparent displeasure, credit card sound (remember that) and greed. The 2+2s were even better.

Magnepan MG III The MG III much more dependable then then 3.6. I lost one tweeter in 18 years.

Magnepan MG 3.6 I good sounding speaker, but the ribbon tweeters were very delicate. In six months I went through 3 ribbons. I was using the same electronics and room. Very dissatisfied with Magnepan.

Revel Studios For one week. They sounded great. Bought on Audiogon.
I then saw a pair of Salons on Audiogon, and sold the Studios, and bought the Salons. What an awesome speaker! I'm now thinking of adding Revel Performa B15 Subwoofers to round out the bass.
