    Welcome to Club Polk!


    Actually, some Realistic speakers were OK! I've seen the T-100s but never heard them. I have heard the T-120s and they're pretty good for an 8" three way of that time period.

    I have a pair of RTR HPR12 Magnums that I bought in the mid 70's, and they still sound pretty good for two channel listening.

    If I am not mistaken that was there most popular model. Underrated I don't think so.

    One of the largest-selling loudspeaker models of all time was the A-25.

    From the 1970's to mid 80's I would choose A/D/S, Polk, and AR, with the A/D/S L810's being my absolute favorite. From mid 80's to 2005, the Magnepan 1.6QR, Minimus 7's, Celestion SL6si to name a few I've owned. Too soon to rate models since then, but brand-wise Totem, Harbeth, and budget Aperion, PSB, to name a few.
