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?

I have to agree with Eldart on this one... I have a pair of Maggie 1.6's in my second system and have been tempted to sell them and get something else (they aren't too abtrusive, but in my living room a nice set of pretty floorstanders might be better looking)...

Anyway, everytime I get the itch I realize it would probably take 3K (used) to get what the Maggies are giving me for about $1700 new... They do very well in HT duty as well.

Yes, I'm second to Spica TC-50 even I've Maggies MG-10QR and Silverline Audio still come back and listen to them in my son's room, not a total lost :-)
Infinity RS1B or the Kappa 9 series blows them all away for the price.

Happy Listening
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.
