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.

I only have two:
Triangle Celsius
Voigt Pipe (with TWL Mod.) with Lowther PM6A.
My first pair of speakers were UTAH 3 way 1972 vintage, I paid $120 new for the pair, they were great for the time.

my second pair were PARADIGM EXPORT STUDIO MONITORS 1987,I paid $600 new for them, they out performed everything I heard under $2000.

my cureent pair are MAGNEPAN 3.6's, I bought new in 1999 FOR $3500, they are the BEST I have ever owned and sound as good or better than anything I have listed to in the $15,000 range.

MAGNEPLANERS are real,alive,you are there.....
Sony Floor Standers $200 new - crap but I didn't know better then

B&W DM303 $150 used - can't beat it for the money but other monitors kill it

Totem Mite $600 new with Atacama Stands $150 - great speaker but inefficient needs lots of power to really open up. Metal dome tweeter wash a bit harsh for my liking.

Paradigm Studio 20 $500 used - awesome at this price you cannot beat them. If you can get em used go for it there great.

Proac Response 2S $2500 used - Wow my dream speaker as good as the Studio 20 is the Proacs surpass them in every way imaginable.
