Great old speakers that are as good as new ones

I agree with many of the preceding suggestions, but I'll add to the list Pentagram P10's, from 1983-4 (the later version only, which has a 4-inch dome mid-range, not the early version which used a 2-inch dome mid-range).

Under-recognized and under-appreciated both then and now, they are outstanding well-built all-around performers. They are hard to find but are inexpensive when they appear.

Thirty-five year old Tannoy HPD 315's (12" Dual Conentric)in custom 200lb. 150 liter cabinets. Amazing sound, last speakers I will own.

Had the Dahlquest DQ-10's, they needed to be played loudly. Loved the Gallo Ref-2's. Nesterovic 5's are hard to beat.

Snell Acoustics Type AIIIi. I had them for 20 years, until I replaced them with Snell XA Ref towers. They are one of the classic all time great speakers, and a good used pair can be had for under $1,500. One would need to spend 10 times that to get anything comparable new today.
