For those of you who suggest that no vintage speakers are worth considering:
Are you DEALERS, by any chance?
Why dont you write this kind of stuff in your classified ads and spare the forums?
Casey, you make excellent and admirably sincere points regarding your interests.
I agree with several posters that there are some excellent values in vintage equipment and for the purpose of your vintage store, I might suggest they are also, well, COOL!
With coolness in mind, you could consider vintage speakers which are still well bid on the used market and respected by audiophiles, but also have interesting or quirky shapes.
Might be tough, but not impossible, for $300:
Spica TC 50's
DCM Time Windows
Magneplanar MG-Is (benefit from higher power)or MMGs
Polk 10's (with covers removed to show 1980's passive radiator design)
Good luck and have fun,
cwlondon
