Thanks a bunch for all the replies, I'll take a look into all those speakers mentioned. I'm fine with a used pair as long as they're in good shape and function properly. As for the receiver, my friend's dad is willing to consider selling me his vintage Sansui I'm not sure about which model it is as of yet but I'll know soon. If that doesn't work out for me, I'll keep and eye on ebay for those HKs you had mentioned. Why is that tube amps are so much more valuable? I've been reading this forum for a week or so now and everybody seems to hold the tube amps in high appreciation. Was wondering why they were technically superior. I'm still learning all the technical stuff about speakers and receivers, its a hobby I'm just getting started with... looks like I've got countless days of saving money up ahead, theres always something one can update. Thanks guys.
