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

First real speaker in 1977: Klipsch Heresy. Then it goes: Acoustat 2 (1981); Acoustat 1+1 (1986); Martin Logan CLS original (1988), then updated to CLS II (1989-lost some magic); Magnepan 3.3R (1990); Magnepan 3.6R (2000) w/Mye stands. Toying with the idea of Wilson Sophia 2's next. But giving up that ribbon tweeter would be tough...

boston acoustic vrm 90

very recently i bought a cary sli 80 integrated amplifier from my local dealer in northwest pennsylvania and i have been wanting to try something that is more tube friendly than my boston vrm 90's,there is not much in my area to audition so i will most likely have to plan a trip to buffalo/pissburgh/cleveland and visit some other shops to hear what they have
