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

perhaps I can win the award for shortest list.

Vandersteen Model 3's (1992) $2300 still own them
B&W Nautilus 805's (Y2K - $2K) + REL stadium III ($2.25K)

After my next preamp, I will swap out the Vandy's
Have been auditioning for 2 years, will probably wait
another 2 years.

I've only had two pairs of commercial speakers:
One was my first pair which was some unknown store brand 3-way system.
The other was a set of Linn Kans.
All my others were my own DIY handbuilts.
