Short history on legacy speakers


Since I am still relatively new to this hobby I am curious as to the speakers that became famous for whatever reason: new technology, impressive value, high sales, world class sounding bla bla bla.
I'll start with sound dynamics 300ti, this one was brought back into production after the public cried out for the canadian company to bring it back. This is one I am familiar with since I owned two pairs, but what about those that left a bigger mark in the stereo annals?
A short description would be appreciated.

Two other loudspeakers that had an impact on the industry are the Dahlquist DQ-10, co-designed by Saul Marantz and aerospace engineer Jon Dahlquist, and the Larger Advent speaker.

The DQ-10 set new standards in soundstage and imaging. The time-aligned drivers and minimal baffles for each driver created a coherency to the sound and made it possible to hear depth in the soundstage as well as width. It was also reached a new level of linear response at that price point.

The Advent Loudspeaker brought the neutrality and linearity of the AR3a sound to the masses at about 1/2 the price.
