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

Martin Logan CLS, $1400, used
MARTIN LOGAN SL3'S, $2300, used

Waiting on my Vandersteen Quatro's to be built and delivered.  Very excited about this upgrade. I never thought I'd be in the position......ever.  Cant' wait.  Audi Havanna Black paint and not the wood finish too!  
Marantz Silver 7'S, $400? new. It's been so many decades since purchase...:)
Dan D'Agostino Point Three satellite/sub system, $400 new
Thiel CS2, $1500, new

By far the Thiels best the others. Still listen to the Thiel's today. Recently rotated the D'Agostino Point 3's out of the line up but won't give them up due to nostalgia. 
-System in a box (Sharp) when I was 15 years old
-A few thrift shop speakers (idk what brand names)
-Bowers and Wilkins DM630i
-Bowers and Wilkins Matrix 804
-SVS Ultra Bookshelf Speakers
-Legacy Audio Studio HD Bookshelf
-Magnepan MMG
I can see that i tend to hold on to speakers very long, as i had not had many different ones.

resurrected thread.  

Ok, have had the Quatro's hooked up and running for months.  What a GRAET speaker. I'm shocked at how good they are for the price.  14k is not that much for higher end speaker and these beat all the 30k plus speakers I've auditioned.  They are the sweets spot in Richrd's line.  No doubt about that.  It's a must audition for anyone in this range or higher.  The built in amp frees my amp and it shows in the sound.  So easy to set up.  Sorry, I'm amazed that I could afford this type of system.  I'm really blessed.  Fun thread for sure.
