What Vintage Speakers Would You Buy If Money Were No Object?

[JoeESP9]

The biggest pair of Magnepans I could find.
If they were too tall for the living room, I'd cut holes in the ceiling.

Here you go. These are my favorite Maggies. No need to butcher your ceiling.

 

[Mitkraft]

All of them.

For me, it'd be Infinity IRS V's.

MBL! If you are completely satisfied with your system, stay away from the MBLs.

If offered Klipsch horns for my Stephens Trusonics the answer would be a definite NO,
My buddy with Klipshorns and Mac60's lust over my pair

Beveridge S2W's are the best I ever heard. The double Dayton-wrights mentioned are right behind them.

 

[jdmccall]

Yes, they can!

Well OK...I'll still take the humble little k-horns, nestled snugly back into the room corners.

Electro-Voice Sentry III's

 

[tubed]

If money were no object I might consider some earbuds while streaming something on my island paradise

 

[Ghonk]

If i had to choose ONE,i would probably listen to some GIANT JBL's first,like 4355's.

 

[2526]

A decent part of my budget would be traveling the country to hear as many speakers as possible prior to making a choice.

 

[SEF250]

Always wanted to give Belles a go.Beautiful speakers.With a sub of course.

 

[pashka]

BRAUN LV 1020
Very nice . This is my home stereo and studio monitors Speakers for any music .

Infinity RS2B

Go big or go home.

The RS2B is a bucket list speaker to just be able to hear. Owning a pair would be like having a private jet, unlimited time and resources and going to hear anyone live whenever I wanted. OK... I should relax, the latter scenario is WAY better than a pair of RS2B, but the RS2B are awesome.
