Best Compact Floorstanders?

Hi folks,

I am wondering if anyone here has come to the same conclusion as I did...

A). Floor standers are better value
B). Old used speakers are best value
C). We're not talking for loud party style use obviously!

My favorite so far (I've owned 4 pairs) are the 'B&W P4' Transmission Line speakers. Not for bass freaks though!

If you're interested in them they are listed today in an online auction...You can guess where!

Cheers

Stands are just a waste of space that could be used for more drivers.

Hey Josh.

I'll add my thoughts - I really like the pair of used Totem Sttaf floorstanders that I bought recently from a guy in Vancouver, BC. Incredible speakers for the money. I don't know what these guys are saying about the Sttafs not having enough bass range. These speakers do a great job with low end frequencies. I couldn't be happier. These replace my 20+ year old Advent Loudspeakers with 10" woofers. The Sttafs run circles around the Advents (and with 5.5" woofers). Sweet sound and incredible detail.

Tend to agree with "A" and strongly agree with "B"

I agree with your assessment. I also agree with Wescoman - used Totem Sttaf's are a fantastic value. They are great speakers with solid bass beyond anything in their class.
