I thought $450 for an Accuphase T100 tuner was my best 'deal' - they live forever I think. It is in it's late twenties and still has all its lights yet! But then FM is on its way out - (-:

My present speakers look to be my present 'best deal', not because I bought them cheap so much as because I've had them for over 4 years now and have not looked back, not even once! Just perfect for my needs. :-)

I bought my Paradigm Studio 100 v.2's for $300. I was pretty ecstatic. The owner was moving across the country in a few days and hadn't gotten rid of them yet, I saw it on craigslist right when it went up and was at his place within an hour.

Best bargain I ever got was a pair of Vandersteen Model 2 Sig 2's for $2000 plus tax. Thought I stole something.
