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.

Magnepan MG-1 ($500)

Polk RTA-12(?) (@ $900) (a mistake)

Acoustat 1+1 and pair of Kinergetic Woofers ($?)

Martin Logan Quest ($4,000)

S.A.P. J2001 (twin woofer) ($21,500) One of the best sounding speakers I've heard at any price, and, at 99 db/w efficiency, I can use it with just about any amp.
KLH,$59.95, JBL$129.00, Klipsch Heresy 1 used $225.00, Kenwood used $100.00, Pioneer cs88a used $200.00, still have these in the closet, Klipsch Heresy II used $300.00, Magnepan MG1 used $100.00 sold these for $225.00 at garage sale, saw the guy a year later and he never hooked them up so I bought them back for $100.00 again, Paradigm Studio 100 v3 $2000.00, sold 'em, Magnepan 1.6qr coming tomorrow $1725.00? OK Bye

1973 Studiocraft 330's of brand don't know who made them but, they sounded good in the store. Tweeters were facing 45 degrees outward which seemed to improve the sound stage. 1974 large advents. Nice nuetral sound. 1976, double advents which were stacked woofer, tweeter, tweeter woofer. played much louder. 1979 Audioanalyst phase matrix threes. Had a coned tweeter with a grill that was supposed to improve the sound stage. They wore out in '89 so I bought two Linn Nexus demos which were very nuetral and smooth. Heard Vandersteen 2's that year but, could not afford then. Finally bought the Vandersteen 2 CE sigsin 2002. Love the nuetral , balanced sound.
Starting in 1973 -EPI 50,EPI 100, Ohm C+,Dahlquist DQ10,Chartwell LS3/5a(financial reasons),Spendor BC1,Quad 57's,Quad 63's,Linn Kans,Kan II,Tukans,ATC 20's (Superb!) ATC SCM100a's far and away the BEST! There are many others I've spent considerable time with, too many to mention.
