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

1980's I was 10 years old at the start:
Bose 201 v2-I liked them.

Altec 887 a capri

Custome built pair with 15" JBL K130's and Altec Horns

Paradigm MK7se towers-

KRK Powered Rokit 8's-Used for recording, but nice also for post production sessions.

B&W 804 Matrix-Very musical, love this speaker, forgiving, crazy soundstage.

PSB Stratus Mini-also very musical, cannot play very loud

Modded Klipshorns-With the right amplification, I have not heard another speaker with as much dynamics. Hard to get right, but great when you do.

Bay Audio Bebop-Very warm, well built

KRK 7000B-Awesome, just awesome...

Vienna Acoustic Bach Grands- Pretty speaker, very detailed, heavy bottom end. Not sure what I think about this speaker yet. Having a hard time getting them dialed in.
Radio Shack DIY,ADS 2ways, Linn Kans, Activ Linn Kabers; Wisdom Audio D75,then in 2010 bought the Magico v2. The V2's are another performance level.
1981 first real speakers were Klipsch Heresey. After leaving navy traveled around the country as a contract technician Hereseys had to go (to big and heavy).

1990 settled in CA. spent the next 15 yrs trying sub/sat systems. Cambridge Soundworks, Def Tech, Boston, Paradigm (really liked the Titans).

2005 finished a new family/HT room. Went back to the Hereseys and added Klipsch center, sub, and surrounds.

2007 Replaced the Hereseys and Klipsch center with AV123 Rocket RS 750's and RCS200 center

2010 Replaced the RS750's and Klipsch sub with AV123 Strata Mini's
