celto, Audio Classics in Binghamton NY sells Mac speakers, so you may want to contact them. I bought a pair of Quad 2905's from them a while ago and they told me that my Quad's out performed any other pair of speakers they've carried including the MacIntosh.Aside from the various other Quad options, I'd suggest looking at a pair of Monitor Audio with ribbon tweeters. For the money they are well regarded and I've heard great things about their Platinum series.
