Great old speakers that are as good as new ones


I have some psb stratus golds now and i really like them but they are pretty old now. Still sound great though. What are the best speakers have you owned or heard that are old like my golds that are reasonably priced today. Im thinking under 1500. thanx for any info. Kevin

I agree with many of the preceding suggestions, but I'll add to the list Pentagram P10's, from 1983-4 (the later version only, which has a 4-inch dome mid-range, not the early version which used a 2-inch dome mid-range).

Under-recognized and under-appreciated both then and now, they are outstanding well-built all-around performers. They are hard to find but are inexpensive when they appear.

See my comments in this thread, and comments by someone else in post 49 of this thread

Thirty-five year old Tannoy HPD 315's (12" Dual Conentric)in custom 200lb. 150 liter cabinets. Amazing sound, last speakers I will own.

Had the Dahlquest DQ-10's, they needed to be played loudly. Loved the Gallo Ref-2's. Nesterovic 5's are hard to beat.
Snell Acoustics Type AIIIi. I had them for 20 years, until I replaced them with Snell XA Ref towers. They are one of the classic all time great speakers, and a good used pair can be had for under $1,500. One would need to spend 10 times that to get anything comparable new today.
