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

'73: Lafayette 8" coax drivers in boxes, $40
'75: KLH Model 32, used, $55?
'79: 'New' Large Advents, new, $265
'86: Boston Acoustics A200, used, $175
'02: Thiel CS2.3, used, $2000

Looks like I've gotten my time and money's worth out of Boston-based speakers. I can only hope Kentucky will treat me as well...
