Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound

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.

For classical music: BW 801 S3, for example.

I have a pair of Polk SDA IIs that I have enjoyed since the '80s. Good imaging, soundstage, transparency and bass response. As I've made upgrades to the system over the years, these speakers seem to have "stepped up" at each step along the way to let me hear the improvements.

I have been comparing my JBL L150A's and Bose 901 series 6's and the Bose sounds best to me.....I'm shocked!.... The JBL's was the best that I had ever heard! Long live the new king!
