Best Vintage Speakers?

I'm a big high value vintage guy. Technology is good, but considering the recent comeback of tube amps, I'm wondering if anybody has any experience buying older speakers. What have you bought that rivals or surpasses newer models for a fraction of their new cost?

Apogee Scintilla - when driven by the right amp on the 1 ohm tap, there really isn't much out there that gets as much right with as little wrong as these.

Took the words right out of my mouth, Dschultz, and boy, do I and Baranyi
have the right amps. Can I have an amen! Bob?

I'd have to include Wharfedale W60D; I found a pair on Cr*list, $125.00, they just needed new caps. For a small to medium room. I carefully drilled two holes in the bottom fronts and spiked them, towed them in so the inner speaker is just missing that side's ear (on my head). At least 10 feet away, actually a very decent soundstage, I'd never really heard a well-reproduced organ until these.
