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

Just sold my Hales Sig 2's after having loved them for 16 years. Before that Acoustats and before those Maggie 1c's.
The Hales were wonderful, but after all that time the tweeter began to bug me.
Replaced with a new pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage. In my small room with vault ceilings, these are magical.
By far the best speaker I have ever heard with my set up, and I have heard many other speakers in the last 25 years.
Update: When I last left this thread (8/02) I had owned Thiel CS 2.3's. Since then I owned VR-4JR's for three years. Now, I own a pair of single driver speakers from commonsenseaudio.com: Lowther 2.8 Ambience.
