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

to start. I am 51. I only buy used gear as I cannot afford new. I have never spent more than 600 for a pair of speakers. EVER.
some ge box system.
pair of jbl's don't remember model.
pair of ESS HIEL AIR MOTIONS that was a great speaker.
pair of epi towers.
pair of klipshorns still don't understand why every one loves these, they have more peaks and valleys than the sierra mountains.
MCINTOSH MC2's
