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?

Using your criterion, and IMHO, the Thiel 3.5's by a long shot, followed by Vandersteen 2's.
Sogood51, I see your point, but, I read the title "Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound" as being the priority. There does seem to be some contradiction.

Ya...I agree. The "best bargain" part for sure. He did say "for less money than today's top models prices"...I ran with that part.

Best bargain only...I'd have went with the Maggie MMG's...around $350 used.
