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

Custom cab. double Peerless 3 way
Altec 602-c corners (loud)

JBL LE-15 w/ Janzen electrostats Custom box
Warfdale 60-D 60-E
Heil AMT 1, now with new woofers
Tannoy Red 15" in custom box (lost in a flood)
Tannoy Golds 15" Belevedere Box (in my office)
Snell A-III Main Home sys.(Best of the bunch) Krell pre, bi-amp Bryston 3B's

I am a cabinetmaker so many systems were shop built. I am currently thinking of building GFR boxes for the Tannoy Golds. I never spend much money on systems, just buy used and distressed sales.
