Your best bet to get vintage speakers at an affordable price on the used market is to go the Klipsch route - several different sizes to choose from. Altec Lansing also made some wonderful speakers, but these will cost you alot more.

JBL 4301b Control Monitors. Price is right, the look is definitely right, and the woofers have been professionally re-foamed. Disclaimer: I have no personal stake in this listing; it just looked like a good fit, and nice-looking too. JBL's brightly colored foam grille coverings of the '70s are soooo retro cool. |
The ADS L710 series II. 1). beautiful... walnut with radiused (sp?)corners, bronzed metal grills, and black metal stands. high WAF. (not married, but, if she judged me by my speakers, would be). 2). tweeters are protected by fuse 3). woofers don't have those rotting foam rings, 4). they weigh a bit, but not too large in size, 5). they sound very, very good... your ears may prefer the silk dome to aluminum, esp. in today's digital world, and the eyes- walnut to black vinyl mdf. 6). they keep going up in value. As a less expensive alternative, the B&O S-45, for similar reasons... but with square corners, and rosewood. that being said, to confuse you further, i've listened to a pair of low end B&W bookshelves, black mdf, aluminum tweeter- and they sounded great. |
