Classic speakers to hunt down used


Which classic speakers sound good among these?

KLH

If you can give me model no. that would be appreciated.

Are there others that I should go for?

Thanks in advance...

Avalon Ascent Mk-2--Rediculously good,3 way.Easy load to drive.Sealed enclosure(means great midbass),and stunning extension,and timbres.Added benefit,was an external crossover.Gorgeous cabinetry to boot,and the used mkt prices are a STEAL!!

Choice #2--I didn't realize how great the old Sonus Faber Extrema was,until last Thanksgiving,when I was invited to an audiophile friend,to hear one.Though he,being smart and keeping the entire system competitive,added a Townshend Maximum super tweeter,to the mix.What I saw,in a gorgeous looking speaker,and heard,shocked me.These are not large speakers,yet had stunning dynamics,and superb timbres.A great combo!!
Both these CLASSIC designs would cost MUCH more(even taking inflation into consideration)today.They were,both,built to real heirloom standards.I wish I had both,but unfortunately -:)I only am the lucky owner of the Ascents.

Best!
