What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?

Used audio market is not the same again since on-line marketplace was born in 1995 (Fleabay).   What is your speaker *ownership* history since then?

Main system:
early 1970's: a home built Philips speaker
1976: Quad esl 57
2009: Quad 2805
2012: B&W PV1d to supplement the Q2805s, tamed by a DSpeaker Antimode 8033 (crucial)

Secundary system in my study:
1991: Rogers LS3/5a
2015: Harbeth P3ESR

bedroom system:
2008: Wharfedale Diamond 9.0

As should be obvious from the list, I am not an impulse buyer.
