The year is 1986


Recently I felt compelled to replicate a system from my college days(hold the sarcasm) just to see how it would rate with modern speakers, etc. Here are the 3 choices:
Cerwin Vega D3
Klipsch KG4
JBL L80T

THis is primarily for a vinyl based system. If you could only choose one of the above speakers, which one, and why?
FWIW...power is going to be circa '86 Nad, rotel, or adcom.

KG 4's are not amplifier fussy, very dynamic, obtainable at very reasonable prices at present. For how much longer I don't know, people are catching on how good they are, serviceable, upgradable.

Like being in a corner or close to a wall, not fussy, chuck them down anywhere they still sound good.

These are keepers.
Best 250 bucks I ever spent on any Hi-Fi.
Plan to die with them.
Great bass btw, beats out a Heresy.

These things can rock.
Have driven them with all sorts of amps and receivers and they are not fussy believe you me, a very easy drive.

I use them with an EL34 amp and a Technics Direct Drive.
in a small room. They get me bopping every time.
What more could you ask, for that's how we used to enjoy music before we became Audiofools.
