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

May I suggest looking into Thiel loudspeakers? If you enjoy Vandersteen speakers, get yourself a Thiel demo.  Specifically, the CS 2.4 model for openers.  Happy Listening!

Waiting on my Vandersteen Quatro's to be built and delivered.  Very excited about this upgrade. I never thought I'd be in the position......ever.  Cant' wait.  Audi Havanna Black paint and not the wood finish too!

Marantz Silver 7'S, $400? new. It's been so many decades since purchase...:)
Dan D'Agostino Point Three satellite/sub system, $400 new
Thiel CS2, $1500, new

By far the Thiels best the others. Still listen to the Thiel's today. Recently rotated the D'Agostino Point 3's out of the line up but won't give them up due to nostalgia.
