[QUOTE="shunpillay, post: 1102073, member: 22898"] Ok, this may be a bit of an obscure one. The Acoustic Research AR92 and AR91 speakers circa 1979. They sold for $325 and $425 respectively, so were by no means "high end" in terms of price. But even today I'm consistently shocked by how they scale. They demand a big room, a big amp, and demand to be played LOUD! The better the electronics I put in front of them, the better they sounded. I'm biased towards AR because that's what I grew up with, so it's what I know. But there are certainly other 'affordable' cult speakers that people wax lyrical about. The Quad ESL 57, and the LS3/5a spring to mind. Mmmm ... Gotta get me some ESL 57 someday. :rubhands: [/QUOTE]
