I have owned a pair of Bud Fried tweaked TLS80's since 1978. I have never grown tired of listening to them. They require nominal power and they sound great with very ordinary power supply. Transmission line bass is like nothing else available. I use them in my home theater set up and have absolutely no need for a sub woofer.
I recently acquired a pair of old JR149 9"x15" cylinder type speakers with a matching JR sub-woofer, amp, and crossover. The JR's use similar drivers as the TLS80's - Kef 110's and a 127 tweeter. JR's are often compared to BBC designed mini monitors like the Rogers LS3/5 because they incorporate the identical drivers to the JR's. I think they sound better. I guess I prefer British sound theory - and older is sometimes surprising better.
