Battle of the affordables

You have good amplification, that helps. And this list is fine, you will always get other suggestions in an open forum.

What are your listening habits? Genre preference? Typical volume levels? Are you a hard core rocker or jazz and acoustic? And room size, that makes a difference as well.

Wharfedale Super Lintons would be on my short list. 

I'll stick with my own 'trash', including my diy's.....

The latter, if I break them, I'm the one who can fix them....better.

And I fully intend to do Just That, as needed.

No warranty bs, no shipping concerns to or from, no unforeseen arguments....

Get back to me when you've matched that. ;)

The Harbeth C7ES-XD!  They disappear and deliver extremely good response for $4800 new. Most musically adept speaker I’ve ever owned.
