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

Home made-$300 estimate
Sansui-$50 (Don't recall model name-does it matter?,but had 10 " chrome-frame woofers)
Cerwin Vega AT-15-paid $800.00 full list price, and was proud of it, still in garage. Some day...
DUNLAVY V-$9500 (demo pair) currently in main system
DUNLAVY II- $1200 (used) Bought for bedroom system, but now using as rear surrounds

I basically went from worst to great (IMO)speakers. No inbetween.

You know what's great about this thread is it reveals the approx age of the posters based on what their first few speakers were! I'm glad to see we do have some younger members of this insane club, but the majority seem to be, like me, Boomers, ie 50's babies.

Sean, that's painful. You drank the Bose Koolaid eh? Glad to see you climbed out of the rut and came over from the dark side. Betcha those Bose speakers burn great though!
