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

I'm a Chario devote. I've owned Chario Hiper 1000, Chario Hiper 1000T, Chario Premium 2000T, Chario Constellation Cygnus, Chario Constellation Pegasus, Chario Constellation Ursa Major and now looking for the Chario Academy Sovran. Combined musicality and elegance for great listening pleasure.

Coli,
I am curious to know the models of the KEFs that you moved away and to which Klipsch model. Also if you can explain why, that would be helpful.

Thanks!

KEF LS50 and R700. I'm now using the RP-280F.

KEF got sweeter mids and better sound stage, but my 30watt amp's not powerful enough for it... Klipsch is just so much more dynamic and interestingly, more clarity at the top end.
