How about 2 hands full?
Parentheticals reflect my first personal encounter w/each
Quad 57 (first 'stat)
Wilson WAMM (first SOTA assault)
Advent Large (first "highish end" encounter in best friend's older brother's system)
Vandersteen 2 (early high end audition that blew me away)
MBL 101 (First "show-stopper" at audio show)
Rogers LS 35a (BBC legend at local store)
Maggie Tympani (main attraction at Lyric, NYC's better than the customer boutique of it's day)
B&W 801 (as above - substitute Sound by Singer for Lyric)
ProAc Tablette (first demo of 3d imaging from a minimonitor)
and.....
Kef Corelli (my first high end speaker - the prototypical English design of midband uber alles)
Ten speakers that I first encountered 10+ years ago. I can recall the exact time/place that I first heard each. IMHO, each made a significant design statement that stands to this day.
