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

Update:

fisher - well, it was a start.

Boston Acoustics - really, not bad.

Apogee Stage - now we're talking - My first step to the perfect sound

Apogee Duetta Signature - you will think you have the greatest speaker in the world. The Apogee, like other dipoles, projects a seamless image of the performer before you. Unlike other dipoles, the Duetta fleshes out the musicians and singers, giving them tangible body, and the Duetta ribbon bass is to die for.

Apogee Scintilla - Major reviewer Ken Kessler owns one. He says the Scintilla is, " ...The antipasto which most speakers dare not follow" in Kessler's review of the Perigee (Apogee evolution), reviewed after a listen to his own Scintilla in his daunting listening room.
I can boast I never owned Bose...and never will...Dq-10s,Spica tc-50s,Snells,Quad 12Ls...
Aaagh memories, 1981, genesis 210's $450.00pr/new. I was a junior in high school. I gave them to my brother in MINT cond. about 13 yrs ago and just recently got them back. I completely refurb them right down to the grill cloth. Had profile 3's for about 10 yrs. still have a pr of paradigm mini 3se. This speaker is so freakin' good I will never part with it. They absolutely love my golden tube se-40. Have a pr of paradigm atoms with a vintage tandberg in the bedroom. Have a pr of virtuals w/a vintage harman kardon 300b in the basement, and am currently running PSB stratus silver i's in the main system. This speaker never ceases to amaze me, I don't care what amp, pre-amp, cd player, cables etc. You will get a different sound with every change. What really sealed the deal especially for the psb are NORDOST blue heavens. Sorry for the rant I felt the need :)
