  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

the best impression and the worst desillution, were the spirit by soundcraft absolute zero. with peavey cs200x

the ab-zero when brand new, sounded verry similar to genelec but non metallic, amazing, but when they broke-in 2 days later, were something else, i could never get used to.

but... depends on your ear/brain, what likes more, color or grey sound. "diferent harmonics"

urei 809 with lots of eq, sounds nice, but highs are not detailed enough. becouse the tweeter diaphragm its 1.75-inch

tannoy system 8nfn or 215ii, too much coloration, for my taste.

tannoy system 2 with crown d75, had an amazing out of the speaker sound = 3d mids, but same coloration as the others.

genelec 1030a nice, really nice.

jbl control 1 also nice highs with lots of EQ. weak low end.

behringer truth b2031a grey, not good, the black: nice.

jbl 4206 nice,

but the amp makes a big diference.

mcintosh c32/c33 with jbl 4343 had almost a perfect sound for me, exept the verry collapsing mids.

logitech x-540 , sounds amazing for the price, with just a litle eq.
but the room also makes a big diference.

the crossover also.
its fun to make experiments with passive two way speakers. and make them active with amps and active analog or digital crossovers.

yamaha ns-10/40 uhmm, with lots of eq are nice to my ears.

jbl eon 15g2 , with lots of eq, sounds nice. "the one with the first version of the amp, lm338" but... same 1.75" non detailed highs.

m-audio bx8a, sounds grey, but with lots of eq can sound colored.

krk rp5 sounds nice out of the box, but the rp8 dont like it.

emu.com rp5, uhmmm nice mids, but... highs are piercing but sounds overall too dark. similar to event 20/20 passsive.

alesis monitors, wrong mids, weak harmonics, for my taste.

jbl control 25, with eq sounds nice. a bit cheap, but complete, a bit compressed dynamic range.

i like more the trumpet mids & highs sound, vs. the direct sound, but krk rp5 mk1, are the exeption.

havent heard klipsh copper wooofer with tractrix horns,
but look pretty anyway.

etc..etc..etc..

personall evolution, ?
more like personal roller coaster
