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

Realistic or something akin and Kloss headphones. Then I finally bought my own at the ripe age of 16 Klipsch Heresy 1s for $550 . I still have them!!! Inherited my father JBL siugnatuyre 1959 030 speaker package in a C38 cabinet that's a D130 broad range and an 075 tweeter.Still own.that was all until I emerged from the bowels of my focused studying . My nerxt speaker was a bwarfdale my sister gave me . I hooked them all up in paralell. The my amp died after 20years I forgave it lost or threw out my table but have my Akai GXC-709D and my Nikko Gamma tuner is right next to me. The speakers changed to include the highboy version of the JBL sigs 1962s stillhave them at long last about 5 years a got a to VSA VR2s in maple because wife said so and it had to be maple.2 years later I got klipsch lascalas for my dedicated listening area. Then a year or so later JM Lab Electra 936s. thoseare mymain rig speakers to date. I have bought a number of monitors in the past couple of years Tannoy Gold dual concentrics, Merlin TSMs given Scott s1-11s,no idea what they sound like. Won AAD e-40s as a doorprize.Still in box two self powered tube by bizzy bee TAD 102s el 84 amps. Tong-yet a little speaker with a small SS 20 watts ampslaped on them. Yes I still Have em all. Interested parties regarding the specific sound should e-mail.

The soundlab's maybe the last speaker I ever own they are that good !!!!!!!!!!!
My 1st speakers were Klipsch KG 4's. I bought them in 1985 in MD at a little shop. I was thinking about a pr of Allisons.

Boston Acoustics VR 30's (1994)
Martin Logan Aerius i's
Aerial Acoustic 7B's (still have them)
McIntosh LS 360's

Not very many nor to impressive I guess, I really loved the Logans, the Aerials and of course my McIntosh, I think the Mc's are highly under rated and most people wouldn't even give them a chance because the conception is that McIntosh makes good amps and that is it- you can see that here on A-gon
Thanks and enjoy
