What speakers of yesteryear can offer excellent sound,accurate bass, imaging, transarency, sound stage, etc. for less money than today's top models prices?
Apogee, Grand, fullrange, Scintilla, Diva can compete at any price level. You will need a large dedicated room to set them up properly, or don't bother.
Klipsch Heritage speakers, specifically the Khorns, LaScallas, Belle Klipsch, and Cornwalls...as long as you mate them with complimentary amplification.
I have to agree with Eldart on this one... I have a pair of Maggie 1.6's in my second system and have been tempted to sell them and get something else (they aren't too abtrusive, but in my living room a nice set of pretty floorstanders might be better looking)...
Anyway, everytime I get the itch I realize it would probably take 3K (used) to get what the Maggies are giving me for about $1700 new... They do very well in HT duty as well.
