'Classic' mini-monitors?

It would be interesting to come up with a list of those mini-monitors which have acquired a 'classic' status.

Not just because you think they sound good but due to their reputation & stable going price.

Here's my take:

1. BBC LS3/5a.
2. ProAc Response 1Sc.
3. Acoustic Energy AE1.

Anything else?

I have already covered this front, in my own limited way.

As I stated, I'd like to avoid those speakers that 'I owned them and liked them therefore they're classic'.

Instead, I'm interested in those speakers reputation of which, even if you have not owned them, you may be aware, which would justify the classic status.

AKers tend to insist on their personal favourites, which often tend to end up being a boring list.

I'd like to think the 3 examples I gave do qualify the test.
 
Plus I'd rather not see those speakers that are overtly vintage, which is why I posted this in the modern forum.

I agree - they certainly do!

How about the Linn Kann? They probably fit the bill, and have somewhat of a 'cult' status.
 
How do you define CLASSIC?
I don't think bookshelves costing near 2k can be classic,
but anyway, I would say any british bookshelves can be a classic speaker..
 
Yamaha NS-10: Not owned by a lot of audiophiles, but these are found in more recording studios than any other speaker. They are not used as a "reference speaker", but rather used to represent "average sound" and therefore are good for checking your mix to make sure it will sound good on a typical consumer owned system.
