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.

Rat Shack Something or others, $120, new
Fisher Something or others, $280, new
ADS L710's, $550, new
Snell A2i's, $1100, used
BEVERIDGE SYSTEM 3'S, $1000, used
Martin Logan CLS, $1400, used
MARTIN LOGAN SL3'S, $2300, used

well, I'm a Dyn addict.

It started with Dynaudio Audience 42. It impressed me after an indepth comparison with the equivalent B&W (too much bass), Focal (too thin) or the Dyn Audience floorstander (forgot the model, 62 or 72).

After a year or so I jumped to Dyn Contour 1.3 mk2. An eye opener especially in terms of bass.

Now I'm using Confidence 3, bought it used as I can't afford C1. I think I'm settled with the Dyn sound at the moment.

Perhaps for my next journey, I'm gonna try ribbon speakers. next time, I guess
