Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound


What speakers of yesteryear can offer excellent sound,accurate bass, imaging, transarency, sound stage, etc. for less money than today's top models prices?

Infinity RS1B or the Kappa 9 series blows them all away for the price.

I must have read the question wrong...I thought he said:

"today's top models"....ie, top of the line type stuff, not bang for buck.

I third the Magnepan line of speakers (had the 1.6 and now have the 3.6r). The one problem (if it is a problem) with them is that the money you save in buying the speakers is needed on upstream components because of how revealing the speakers are.
