Lesser known 2 way bookshelf Speakers from the 80's


I recently went into a local Hi Fi shop and heard a pair of Heybrook HB2's from the 80's and was quite impressed. The shop owner also had a pair of Mordaunt Short Pagaents or Carnivals that were to be fixed.  

A few years back I owned a pair of Linn Helix LS150s that were also quite impressive.  I also owned a pair of Paisley Research AE500's that were amazing!  

What were some of your favorite British and non-British two-way bookshelf speakers from the 80's and early 90's.

Still have my JBL L40 (circa 1977) and my ADS L520 (circa 1981) and use them frequently. Both still sound excellent especially when driven by good gear which of course I could not afford when I bought the speakers originally. In fact I used my Pioneer SX-680 receiver, which I still have, with the JBLs for a decade before moving to Adcom, just like many others did. Many consider Adcom as the gateway gear into hifi.
