I have a pair of very average speakers in my family room adjacent to the kitchen, where we do all of our music listening. They're wall mounted in the upper corners of the room - ceiling height, due to space restrictions. I'm looking to get something better in their place. I'd like to stumble across a good deal on older quality speakers as opposed to paying for new audiophile quality speakers. I'm a good Craigslist hunter.
A buddy of mine has a pair of L20Ts that I've always thought sound great, and still do.
Without confirming the model number of his speakers, and assuming that all JBL speakers would sound as good as those, I came across a really good price on a pair of JBL 2500's. I know - no comparison.
Since the 2500's are smaller and don't hold a candle to the sound of the L20T's, they're now in my garage hooked up to an old Pioneer amp & do quite well there.
I saw a really good deal on a pair of 2600's, but opted not to get them, figuring that I'd hold out on some L20T's.
Lo and belhold, a pair came up on the local Craigslist "Excellent condition, with metal floor stands - $75".
I jumped, but missed them. Somebody was quicker than I was
So what I'm looking for is something no taller than 18" that sound as good or better than the L20T.
Any suggestions as to what I should look for (with an 18" cabinet height restriction)?
Thanks,
J.P.
