[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 56472, member: 272"] Re: Best Bang for Buck Home Listening Monitors I've found much listening pleasure in vintage used stuff. Best bang-for-the-buck looking through craigslist for older well-built home stereo boxes from the 70's and 80's Many good 12" and 15" 3-way stuff that cost a decent fortune when new can be had for almost nothing because sellers think they are crap as they aren't shiny and new. I have stuff from Altec and JBL that actually have cast-frame parts and very well-built cabinets. Often some woodworking is needed to take care of scuffs and scrapes, perhaps a new grille and possibly a re-foam job but I find the sound is something lacking in modern micro sub/satellite systems that are all the fad nowadays -and no sub is needed either.
