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

Truly scary how many speakers I have been through since 1972:

Dynaco A25 purchased for $106
Design Acoustics D4 purchased used for $150
Infinity Monitor Jr. purchased for $450
Tangent mini monitor (Canadian) purchased for $550
Chartwell PM110purchased for $500
DCM Time Window purchased for $750
Tannoy Mercury M2 purchased for $350
Dynaudio Audience 42 (store demo)
purchased for $650

While a lot of money has been spent over the years, it is interesting to note that many people have spent more money on just one set of speakers, while I have been using several pairs for what ultimately is not a backbreaking amount.
