what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history?

It is great to have all the money you need to have the best and endless upgrading. But what about the components you've had that were inexpensive that turned out to be favorites of yours?

These are extremely revealing speakers which pair very nicely with my McIntosh MA-6500 Integrated amp. My McIntosh Integrated was also purchased used in pristine condition for $2500 from Audio Classics. I have been very happy with the performance and value from this 5K combo.
