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.

25 years later I no longer have the 520's or 730's and now go for strictly bargains. Here is a list of speakers that I currently own.

ADS L-810, a steal at $160 but later repairs ran the total to $370.

Large Advent Utility Cab, $40 needing refoam which was another $20.

Wharfedale W-60D, $50 but had to replace the tweeters so add another $40.

AR-91, a steal at $40 needing refoam which was another $20.

AR-9, i consider these a steal at $400. I lucked into them after they didnt meet the reserve on eBay.
Dingus: Wow, those are some bargains! So, is AR-9 your primary listening speaker now?
