What Vintage Speakers/Marantz

Hi friends---

Thank you so much for your support, I have never (no Pun) heard the Rega's.
i searched the Audiogon site for this brand for sale, few listed, what would you suggest is the best for under 500.00 used?

Thanks again,
Bob

Rega's "Jura" loudspeakers do not come up for sale too often. (Usually around $400.) Another good loudspeaker to consider would be Vandersteen 1b/2c's. Snell E-III's would be a fine choice as well. (I own a pr.) I would make sure the "foam" surrounds on the woofers were in good shape (not a worry w/ADS because of "rubber" surrounds) and that the factory shipping boxes came w/the spks. Another possible choice to consider are a pr. of JM Lab "Cobalt" 810's on Agon. These were a nice spk. w/real wood veener. (Offer $400 and see if buyer accepts?) or go w/a Vandersteen which would be a relatively easy re-sell in case they don't work out. Bill

Hi friends,

Thanks to you and especially Bill for suggesting the Snell EIII's----They just rock with my Marantz 2325 Receiver, these speakers surprised the heck out of me, they rock!!!!!!!!! Sound is so warm and the base is spectacular, what a deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoffy5,
Yes you are right.. the Snell EIII's do so much right and are fun, have a fairly big sound without harshness or irritation, and although in no way are perfect or up to snuff with the super detailed crowd they rock.
