Favorite Stereo Speakers
What are yours?
1. First, old school if you have an old school choice, (Dahlquist, Infinity, Klipsch, Speakerlab, etc.)
2. Then new school.
I am looking to get sounds that I loved from premium speakers of the 70's and 80's and I am hoping some may have found sounds in new style speaker systems that give the same qualities of old school speakers/monitors. I do not have a decent stereo shop nearby so I cannot go listen in a speaker room to find out for myself.
My choices:
1. Old School - Dahlquist series. I love their bass response, and good highs. I could only afford the two way stereo monitors, the DQM-V, but I loved them. The ports out the rear of the cabinet would give you that great, tight bass response you could literally feel. I still have the speakers and may re-cone them.
2. New school - I don't have any or know much. Polk audio looks pretty good on paper. Enlighten me please!
