Since I saw the original Timewindows below, I would humbly petition to add them to my list too. Not quite magical, but very very nice. I am very happy with my rather battlescarred pair, acquired at a charity fleamarket for $10. They sound bitchen with an EICO HF-81.others I'd add in retrospect
IMF SuperCompacts (I'd love to hear bigger IMF's, someday)
Early Polk Monitors 7 and 10 (had a pair of 7A's since they were new).Right on the edge:
Dahlquist DQ-10's
various ads's (Brauns)
all the best,
mrh
