[QUOTE="DeonC, post: 1115722, member: 1210"] Actually, in the case of AR speakers, you'd be surprised. When I bought my AR28LS, the previous owner had compared them very favorably with his Platinum Solos. Those are upper end mini-monitors. And I also read about one guy who took a pair of AR91s to a friend's place. Said friend had a upper-end Audio Research front end (like in Ref pre and power amps), and used them to drive both Maggies (not a good match, IMHO) and another pair of high-end box speakers. The old ARs were just put on either side of a wide equipment shelf and hooked up. And they proceeded to blow away both the Maggies and the other high-end speakers, much to the surprise of both listeners. So old ARs can sound good. :cool: [/QUOTE]
