  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

Update:

fisher - well, it was a start.

Boston Acoustics - really, not bad.

Apogee Stage - now we're talking - My first step to the perfect sound

Apogee Duetta Signature - you will think you have the greatest speaker in the world. The Apogee, like other dipoles, projects a seamless image of the performer before you. Unlike other dipoles, the Duetta fleshes out the musicians and singers, giving them tangible body, and the Duetta ribbon bass is to die for.

Apogee Scintilla - Major reviewer Ken Kessler owns one. He says the Scintilla is, " ...The antipasto which most speakers dare not follow" in Kessler's review of the Perigee (Apogee evolution), reviewed after a listen to his own Scintilla in his daunting listening room.
