What small vintage speakers are in your collection?

I'm a big fan of the EPI M50. I have 5 pairs in use in my house. 2 PR in the ceiling for TV surround sound, 1pr in the master bathroom, and 1 pair on each PC.
 
I have a set of KLH model 32's doing PC duty; I was truly surprised the first time I listened to them.

KLH model 15's, has 2 4" drivers running full range in each ported cab, and some EPI 100W's. The KLH's sound awesome for what they are.
 
ADS L-570 (mkI), currently out of rotation.

Polk Monitor 4, in the bedroom run via Hitachi IA-100 integrated.

Ampex 815, currently waiting for a replacement tweeter.
 
I have a great pair of B&W Matrix 1's from the mid 80's that sound terrific. They had a MSRP of $1800.

several pairs of Minumus 7s (2 pair in wood 2 pair in metal)
Baby Advent IIs
Mission Mk-70s
seem to be forgetting some?
 
Visonik David 602s (made in West Germany), Phase Technology PC 40s (US), Minimus 7s (vintage Japan), Optimus Pro 77s (Malaysia).
 
I'm temporarily staying in an out of town apartment so I brought my little Sony STR6045 and set of Boston Acoustics A40's with me. I'm quite pleased with the combination.

RTR Exp 8
Bose 301 series III

Bose sound Ok at low volumes, but will sound even better in Asia once they're on the 'Bay.:D
RTR's are awful. I think the magnets have died. They are currently doing well as HT speakers for some strange reason.
 
KLH model 15's, has 2 4" drivers running full range in each ported cab, and some EPI 100W's. The KLH's sound awesome for what they are.

I have to agree on the KLH 15's. A lot better than you'd expect just looking at them.

I'm currently using just one of my pair - doing duty as the remote speaker on a KLH Model 21 radio.
 
Altec Capri's....soon to go under the knife for some much needed acoustic improvement so they'll sound as good as they look.

I confess, I have a small speaker addiction. M70 mkII, M50, JBL 2500, P20, Minimus 7, Advent baby II, Infinity SS2001, Polk R-15. Starting to take the cure, selling off some. The JBL's and R15's stay.
