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

Ignoring all "boom box" type things, here's my evolution:

PSB Alpha's (the original version from the early-mid 90's purchased in my late-teens)
PSB Stratus Bronze
Totem Arro
Totem Hawk
Verity Audio Parsifal Encore

So it's a short list...I tend to get attached to speakers, so don't change them all that often compared to some.

Sansui sp-5500's before and now some New and Improved BOSE 901 series 6 mk2's. These 901's have many of the qualities of my friend's Quad ESL-57's BUT the 901's play much louder !
