Personal speaker evolution

Wharfedale W45's were my first (guess about $100 in 1972)
- still have them but gutted the cabinets and rebuilt
with with new Audax drivers/crossover
Infinity Monitor IIa's ($500 or so in 1975)
- I still have them - they are all original and
immaculate (surrounds replaced)
Totem Sttaf's ($1500 in 2003)

That's the evolution of my main system. I've recently added a home theater, and a couple of other room systems. The most notable speakers in these systems are:
Paradigm 7seII
Paradigm 7seIII
Parasound CRS220
Infinity Entra One
Another set of home built - using Vifa drivers.
Radio Shack Minimus 7's

OK, here we go, this is what I can remember, some pricing will be estimated for the earlier models. Starting from oldest to newest; (JS Audio is a local NJ speaker manufacturer, not the dealer!)
JS Audio tall bookshelf $300. new
JS Audio Panel $800.00 new
JS Audio tower $1100.00 new
Magnepan 1.6QR $1500.00 new
MAGNEPAN 3.6R $3500.00 NEW
B&W NAUTILUS 802, $8,000.00 NEW
B&W NAUTILUS 800, $16,000.00 NEW

Magnapan Tympani-3 panel design-early '80s-paid $600 used from dealer
Vandersteen 1c-early '90s-about $700 new
Legacy Classics-5 1/2 years old-$2600 new-as addicting as the Maggies were (and I'm still moved by their sound) the Legacys are more neutral, dynamic and detailed. I hold these qualities higher than the rest.

Well, I don't remember all the prices but the speakers... ah, changing speakers is my life ! :-)
Infinity 8K, Sonus Faber Electa Amator (the original version), then Magneplanar MGIIIA, Chario Academy 3 (aaarggh, a POS), Thiel CS 3.6, Vandersteen 2CI, Dynaudio Studio 1 , Martin Logan Quest Z, Monitor Audio Studio 2, Thiel CS 6, CS 7.2 and Avalon Radian HC, now maybe.... the Eidolons ? I also have a pair of custom made Dynaudio towers... Ah, I tried, even if not bought, also SF Extrema and Apogee Stage. Last, I'm only 32, how many speakers I will have more ??? Time will tell.

Acoustic Energy AE109 $450 New (1 year)
B&W CDM 1SE $1,000 New (6 years, now in secondary system)
Sonus Faber Concerto Grand Piano $1,500 Used (1 year)

The CDM mini-monitors were purchased in Britain when I was at university and stayed the longest in my system. Great speakers that just oozes quality without costing a fortune and I'm hard-pressed not to keep them for some leisure listening in the lounge area. Nevertheless, the SF Grand Pianos were in a different league altogether. Time (and financial) will tell which speakers will replace the GP's.
