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

Hi,
I seemed to work backwards toward vintage speakers over the years. I like the warm full sound and good bang for the buck. Currently still have the Infinite Slopes, Heresy's, ADS 810's, Ohm Walsh 2's and JBL L-112's.

1972- XAM speakers
1975- Criterion
1977- EPI 100
1979- Marantz Imperial 5
1980's- poor student in graduate school EPI 100's
1990's - became hobby:

Advent New Large
Advent 4002
AR4
AR2a
AR91
A/D/S L-1290
A/D/S L-810
A/D/S L-500
Dynaco A25
JBL L50
JBL L-112
JSE Infinite Slope Model 1
KLH 6
Klipsch Heresy
KEF K-140
Kirksaeter Silverline 60
Linn Kan
Mirage small bookshelf
Ohm Walsh 2
Polk RT-5

Interesting so many of you have had so many speakers, I have had only a few and generally keep em a long time. However, I just found some used I really love:

1976 - JBL Monitors (don't know the model)
1984 - ADS 1290II - My ex-wife got em.
2006 - PSB Mini-monitors (some of the best small speakers ever!)
2007 - Paradigm Studio 20's
now - Green Mountain Europas (awesome)

I have always wanted Maggies but never seem to have room - the GMA's have the same qualities to my ears.
