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

How come those Boses weren't in your post under the Best System You've Ever Built thread, Craig? Same reason as my Fishers?

Radio Shack Minimus - less than $100, new
Fisher of some sort--$120, new
Genesis (not Arnie Nudell's) 10s--$250, new
3D ACOUSTICS three-piece system--$500, new
Thiel CS3--$700, used
DUNTECH PRINCESSES--$6400, new (demos)
SFORZANDO JL-1--new (still not yet in full production-list price projected to be in the $12,500 range).

I'm shocked that I can remember about what I paid for the prior speakers! If you amortize out what I paid for the Duntechs over the 11+ years I owned them, I figure they were a good deal.

Mrpoindexter: Please don't tell us you're using the two pairs of Betas as surrounds with the IRS as the main front speakers in an HT set-up!!! What's your listening room, Royal Albert Hall??
