Best speakers circa 77-79'


I'm putting together a "vintage system" to play my old vinyl, and I wanted to find out some recommendations on speakers. My old set of B&W's died a few years back, and my Yamaha NS-20m's are frankensteined with new parts etc. I was considering JBL 4311's or Infinity (I'm not sure which models are best). Any help?? I'd like to stay in the 1976-1979 range (and also the less than $300 range if possible). My records are mostly pop/rock with some jazz and a little classical. My set-up now is a Yamaha 2020 receiver with a B&O turntable. Thanks so much for any information!!

Acoustic Research 98LSI. Made just after your target years (1981-82ish). Four-way speakers with the same driver configuration as the famous AR 9, except the 98LSI had one woofer instead of two. Warm, rich sound, very musical...you can listen to these all day long. Fantastic speakers that show up occasionally and usually for $300 or less. Highly recommended.
