Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
Why not be different and give Kendrick Sound a call in Tokyo for vintage  superior  speakers. 
Old or new gear
There are some reputable people out there restoring Vintage Fisher Amps, any Fisher  tube amp will bring a smile to your face and pleasure to your ears.I recommend a Fisher 500C, super great tube receiver that can be had restored for 2000 to 2500 ... 
Where do I start-amp or speakers ?
Are you Married should be the first question. 
The ups and downs of tube vs. SS...
I started with SS, settled on Kenwoods. I love the fact that they had all three tone controls, I believe it's your system and you bought the music so play it how you want to hear it.I tried Vinyl and did not see the big deal, and I grew up with re... 
Does mounting a speaker to the front or back of the baffle affect the sound or dispersion?
why not build a removable  baffle and make one mount from the front and one from the back  and experiment?I have built quite a few large Altec speakers with cabinets of my own design and the Altec sound just gets better with cabinet volume and pla...

I bet those L200's sound nice basswanna, I use Altec 811's and 511's on just about all my speakers, they sing to me. 
JBL lovers
Listen to some Altec speakers, Klipsch Cornwall's also.JBL's are great but you are just sticking your toe into the great speaker pond of the 70's.Klipsch has a huge following with plenty of up grade parts available.

I have a Fisher tube amp and a pair of Bozak 4000B symphony's that will make you shiver and tears come to your eyes listening to them in a room that is as far away from perfect for listening as this forum could imagine.The fact is most people are ...

Bozak symphony's 4000b and you will never look back, the search will be over.

Very good advice russbutton. 
Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room?
All this talk of high end 10 and 20 thousand dollar speakers , backed up with this sub or that sub, maybe you should be looking back instead of forward.There are plenty of great vintage speakers out there that will sit you back a fraction of what ...
