Real Wood Speakers Under $250

[mattybumpkin]

Looking for a pair of vintage speakers, real wood veneer, that will play just FM radio via various receivers (SX-980, CR-1020, 8080DB, etc), for under $250-$300. No fixer uppers, ready to play type. Do not have a clue what names to look at, just want natural sounding, nice looking speakers. I see Acoustic Research mentioned, Advent, etc. Any others? what models?

Thanx in advance,

Matty

Lots in those price ranges!!!:yes:
You should be able to score many models from JBL (L36, L96), Large Advents, KLH (Models 5,17, 20), EPI (100, 110), AR (2, 2a, 2ax, 4x,4ax), Dynaco A25s and others easily for $300; many for under $200 and some for under $100.
Dynaco A25s and EPI 100s would be real nice and you could get a nice set delivered for under $150 all day long on Ebay
Fortunately for you, real wood was the way to go on many speakers back in the late 60s and early 70s, so there are plenty to chose from

I would add Wharfedale W60's, 70's and 90's in their varying alphabetical models to the list. The cabinetry is 1st class and the sound is uncolored.
