Budget vintage speakers?

[Tommarc]

Lots of good recommendations, and a lot more great speakers out there. Speakers are perhaps one of the most critical and subjective parts of your audio set-up, so no one can make "that call" as to what works for you and your room--go listen to as many as you can. Sooner or later something is going to really put that smile on your face. An actual budget would help, and then pad it by 20%, since the ones you really like are going to be more than you wanted to spend. Happy Hunting!!!

Thanks everyone for all the info/advice! And the links.

Man, I loved my Rectilinear Highboys. If you have room I would be all over those. You could make probably half your money back or more by flipping the amp.

They look pretty big. No room!

The Rectilinears are big, but if you have the room they are fun. The tall ones have a smaller footprint than the Lowboys but still. I'd google the dimensions of those and see if you can fit them, but if you can't you just can't.

The original Advents and smaller Advents were popular and super-abundant. I liked the more recent smaller Mission speakers I used for home theater.

From memory I'm going to say about 15x12x36
