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

Ozfly: short story...my pair of 7s were among the first ever to be shipped and after several years I began having problems with them; the high end drivers of the coaxial high mid/tweeters burned out twice. I thought it might be the amps (Bryston 7BSTs at the time) but Thiel replaced the drivers each time for free but upon last replacement I decided to switch models as my wife and I were in the market for downsizing our residence. I traded them in for a pair of Dyanaudio Contour 3.0s. After a year of these I traded in for new CS6s because I simply missed the Thiels. Couldn't afford new 7s they go for 14K new. I am very happy with the 6s. I really think they sound better in fact.
