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 started in 1979 with Celestion Ditton 15XRs - died in the late 1980s
1981 Mordaunt Arundel (old british speaker 1960s Decca Kelly horns with 10 inch paper cone) - still got them
1984 Meridian M3 active speakers with 101B preamp - sold in 1993
2001 LS3/5a Stirling Broadcast with Rogers AB1s - still got them
2003 Avantgarde Duos - can't see myself getting rid of these
Mid 70's started out with a pair of bookshelf Infinities that I traded shortly therafter for a pair of floorstanding JBLs. Those served me well for a few years till I traded them in for my first Polk Audio Model 10s.The 10s were very quickly replaced by the POLK RTA 11t's. After a few years I traded up to Carver Amazing Loudspeakers (Platinum). These were only with me briefly and were readily replaced by a pair of Magnepan MG3as. The Maggies were with me for quite a few years until after much reservation I traded the in for a pair of Martin Logan Quests. The MLs are fine speakers but I truly miss my Maggies and I'm sure the Magnepans are in my not to distant future.
