Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?

My best "bang for the buck" actually wasn't my purchase, but my wife's. Somehow, before we met, she had attended the closing of tech hifi in Durham, NC and purchased a JVC TV, amplifier and cassette deck (1984 by the way) and a pair of Ohm Walsh 2's. All for less than $1,300. The MSRP for the speakers in 1984 which was around $700 per pair. 26 years later and they still sound great. I know they can be upgraded, but I actually like the way they sound now that I have a proper amount of the right kind of power.

Excuse me, 36 years...

Tandberg 440a thrown in dumpster because it was blowing fuses, transformer was loose....

Hapi 2 was outstanding:-) thanks for that fine fine memory

I've had quite a few "Bang for Your Buck" deals in the last 6 or so years since I first started rt buying, selling, repairing (and as my girlfriend will say) hoarding home stereo equipment but the deals that stand out the most all came from a local pawnshop here in Mississippi. Back in 2010 I got a Lexicon RV-5 receiver with the original remote, calibration microphone and original manual in almost mint condition for $175.I have owned at least 15 to 20 different receivers in this time period and the Lexicon was easily the best sounding one yet, still regret selling it to this day. Not to long after the lexicon purchase, I strolled into this pawnshop and walked out with a beautiful pair of jamo d450 tower speakers and matching jamo d4sub all three finished in the dark apple wood I paid $200 cash for the lot and still have them. And last but not least my jamo are powered by an Audiocontrol Pantages Amplifier that I have $145 invested in. I just can't overstate how much I love my monthly visits to the local pawnshops you just never know what you'll find.
