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.

1981 first real speakers were Klipsch Heresey. After leaving navy traveled around the country as a contract technician Hereseys had to go (to big and heavy).

1990 settled in CA. spent the next 15 yrs trying sub/sat systems. Cambridge Soundworks, Def Tech, Boston, Paradigm (really liked the Titans).

2005 finished a new family/HT room. Went back to the Hereseys and added Klipsch center, sub, and surrounds.

2007 Replaced the Hereseys and Klipsch center with AV123 Rocket RS 750's and RCS200 center

2010 Replaced the RS750's and Klipsch sub with AV123 Strata Mini's
