PSB Century 300i bookshelf spks. are exc. Vifa D19 tweeter. Beautiful tonality. Engaging spk. Always wanted to try out B&W DM 305 floorstanders b/c of their paper woofer and soft dome tweeter. Mission also had some wonderful older offerings. The 761i was a very, very good bookshelf spk. Two 5" drivers in an MTM design. Once home demoed the BA VR 950 and did not work out for me. BUT, if you could pick up a pr. cheap. Another sleeper, Paradigm Phantom V4's floorstanders. Exc. bass and the metal tweeter is not at all metallic or harsh sounding. So many....Castle's original Avon's. Never heard such strong/deep bass from a woofer that size. Vandersteen 1B's.
Midfi Sleeper Suggestions...2nd systems, etc....
For years I thought Infinity was the go to for above average(and sometimes beyond) affordable, well-designed mainstream products...over the years I have owned Interludes, Alphas, etc...as well as offerings by Athena,Polk,Paradigm, etc...however my recent acquisition of some Boston Acoustics VR series from roughly a decade ago have really caught my attention...any other forgotten gems from this era that push well beyond their weight class?...Primarly interested in easy to obtain, mainstream suggestions...familiar with ADS, Spica, Dahlquist, etc...
