  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

OK, I'm doing this for the therapeutic value as I have not confronted the problem...

I. No longer have:

1. Home made 3-way acoustic suspension
2. Cerwin-Vega D-3, great when I primarily listened to rock

II. Still have:

1. SoundSource (Cuthbert, GA 1983) dMa, approx. $300 new
2. Advent Laureate, used $75
3. Klipsch kg2, used, $100
4. Klipsch KG 3.5, used, $185
5. KLIPSCH CHORUS II, used, $750
6. Spica TC-50, used, $100
7. SPICA TC-60, used, $375
8. SPICA ANGELUS, used, $305
9. JBL L166 Horizon, used, factory surround replacement, $450
10. JBL S109 AQUARIUS IV, TWO PAIR, total $610
11. Harman/Kardon HK50, used, $50
12. SNELL J SERIES II, used, $350 plus new surrounds
13. SNELL E SERIES II, used, $200 plus new surrounds
14. B&W DM601 S2, new, $440
15. Spendor S6e, demo, $1,400

I have a tolerant wife, the finished, windowless basement is mine, and I tend to have several vintage systems that I don't get rid of (an Arcam/Rega system bi-amping the Spendors in the living room is the exception). I am a public and college radio junkie, so several vintage tuners simultaneously running and spread throughout the house explains the need for the large number of mediocre boxes (that and my love for tung oil and steel wool sessions). I wish I had traded up sonically, but I suppose that would come if I moved or downsized. The Aquarius IV's (running off the A+B of a Kenwood KA-8300) got me into omnidirectional sound, and I imagine that my next pair will be ordered from Ohm new or purchased here on Audiogon. Always wanted a pair of Thiels, perhaps after I divest of all this old lumber and buy some modern monoblocks to drive the Ohms... She swallwoed the spider to catch the fly...
