The year is 1986


Recently I felt compelled to replicate a system from my college days(hold the sarcasm) just to see how it would rate with modern speakers, etc. Here are the 3 choices:
Cerwin Vega D3
Klipsch KG4
JBL L80T

THis is primarily for a vinyl based system. If you could only choose one of the above speakers, which one, and why?
FWIW...power is going to be circa '86 Nad, rotel, or adcom.

I owned KG4's back then & decided to "upgrade" to JBL L100T's & it was a huge step backwards. I never gave them time to "break-in" as we didn't know about such things back then:) I sold the JBL's in a week via local newspaper classified ad & eventually bought Klipsch Choruses. I used a Luxman L-430 integrated w/the KG4's.

I understand your desire to put such a system together - heck my living room TV is a 1985 Mitsubishi 26" Damn thing won't croak...
Klipsch, through which I'll play "Money for Nothing", "Broken Wings", and "Things Can Only get Better".
reminds me of my old Luxman R107 going into my Cerwin Vega D9's. Bon Scott has never sounded do good (until my stats and magtechs).

I think we all owned the Cerwin Vega 'D ' series at one time or another through the 80's...laughing.

On a serious tip, the CV offered a damn fine sound for mid-fi, lower hi-fi, when mated w/ Adcom gear. Many fine memories of those days in 1986.
