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

From Peak Consult through Lansche - these are speakers that I owned or now own (or am about to own) as the distributor for these brands.

Lastly - these are just the commercially available speakers that I've had. I've built a bunch, as well ... and that may best tell the tale of why I've stuck to distributing! ;-)
