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

as you can see i tend to keep speakers for a long time

1977 JBL (no idea of model number)
1994 Klipsch kg3.5 (now in HT system)
2009 Dynaudio C1
This is in order, however, I've had occasional regressions to older speakers. (Prices are from when new)
Infinity 1001 ($200)
B&W DM110 ($350)
Paradigm 5SEMKII($450)
Paradigm Titans ($250)
Paradigm Studio 80 ($1600)
Infinity Quantum 3 ($1050)
Linn Isobarik ($6500)
Boston Acoustics A70 ($330)
Boston Acoustics T830 ($600)
Boston Acoustics VR965 ($1000)
Magnepan MG-1C ($800)
well, I'm a Dyn addict.

It started with Dynaudio Audience 42. It impressed me after an indepth comparison with the equivalent B&W (too much bass), Focal (too thin) or the Dyn Audience floorstander (forgot the model, 62 or 72).

After a year or so I jumped to Dyn Contour 1.3 mk2. An eye opener especially in terms of bass.

Now I'm using Confidence 3, bought it used as I can't afford C1. I think I'm settled with the Dyn sound at the moment.

Perhaps for my next journey, I'm gonna try ribbon speakers. next time, I guess
