I have a set of Studio 80s that I purchased used off this site and I am very satisfied with their sound. They are driven by an Adcom 6000 (5 channel amp, 100 x 3 and 60 x 2) mated to an HK Signature 2.0 preamp/processor and an HK DVD50. They are hooked up using some *original* Monster Cable speaker wire (the horror, the horror) that I got from the hi-end store where I used to work in early 80s. The sound is smooth, detailed, well-staged, and they can play LOUD when required - like when when my wife and kids are outta the house [smile].
The cabinets are very well made and look terrific, mine are in the rosenut wood. I know there are better speakers out there - but for what I paid I cannot complain. In fact, these will just have to do for the next 5 years or so - and, to tell the truth, I ain't suffering much [big smile]...
