This kind of question is so very subjective. A couple rules of thumb to keep in mind, like avionics suggested, you'll want a fairly efficient design, and 50 watts is enough if you aren't looking for really high SPL. Speaking of BIC, if I could find an original pair in good shape, the Formula 6 (first series) was a great sounding speaker, however, I doubt you could find any in decent shape. (and if anyone has changed the drivers you don't want them)Looking for ideas on speakers that will be a good match for listening to vinyl on a BIC 960 into a CR-820. I'd like to keep the cost at no more than $500/pr. What do you guys suggest as a good fit in this range?

My tastes run the gamut, so more detailed and less fatiguing is spot on.FWIW it's my belief the JBL's are heaven if you listen to rock almost all the time. If your tastes run all over you may want something more detailed and less fatiguing.
Just my opinion, of course. JBL sure has a lot of followers, hence the high prices they fetch.
Suggestions so far have been exclusively vintage. Are there any new (or newer) speakers that you guys could recommend? My budget is not written in stone.
Thanks. Those Zu speakers are 12 ohm. Can I assume they will play nice with a CR-820?Anything from Zu Audio.
Omen Dirty Weekends would be great but require doubling your budget and waiting who knows how long for the next round.

Maybe Tektons.

FWIW it's my belief the JBL's are heaven if you listen to rock almost all the time. If your tastes run all over you may want something more detailed and less fatiguing.

As a follow up....of all the recommended vintage speakers in this thread, which would you say are more detailed and less fatiguing? Anyone can jump in here...
