Yes you have to build the enclosures so breaks the budget.
However if done correctly IMO they are competitive with some far more spendy commerial products.I built a pair several years ago for use as my desktop monitors.
Those Signets and their bigger brothers the 280's were well executed 2 ways back in the day. -

LSA-1. $599, incredible stage and imaging. Was skeptical but ended up blown away. So much so I'm seriously considering the 1-Statement with upgraded crossover and folded ribbon tweeter for $1600.

If we are listing speaks not in production, SDS-400 is the current fav.
You can send the soundstage out 4 feet to either side
and have it still make sense musically. -

I kept seeing the LSA-1 on underwood's emails but, I didn't know anyone who had hard one. So they are worth it? Before I picked up the PSB, I almost bought the LSA-2 for $1200.

If you can find the Polk LSi7's for sale (used since they are discontinued) then do so. I kind of like them over my modded LSi9's or my LSiM703's. Not really rational, but I think it's because they sound so good for their size.
-
Skip, I think Underwood bought them out? Yep just looked it up "Underwood Hifi has purchased LSA."
I still think my next are going to be Dynaudio c1 or one or 2 below that model. The reviews on the LSA1 are good especially at $599 for the ones kharp1 shows here. -
OOO btw I still think something was wrong with the evo's I had.

RT25i's about $50.
-
Depends on how you define "bargain". Not sure if $200 is really the line in this thread. However, I did pick up a used pair of LSi7's for $202 shipped from Ebay about 3 years ago. But my second pair was bought from Polk direct for $350 shipped. Still a great price, IMO.

I usually get hard with my head between a nice pair. -

Now the post I was going to make. I heard some Wharfedale Dentons ($500 pr) at a fiend of a friend's house, and was pretty impressed - if you like smooth, which I do. Anybody else listen to these?

Good point. Those are a steal if you can find them. $400 in drivers alone.
Problem is now I feel like it's my DUTY to go up the chain lol...
My wallet and wife somewhat disagree

I see the auto correct at work for me. Ouch!

.. been away for awhile. Sorry
Object was to provide options for the next generation to buy bargain classic speakers . ....under $200.00
and then
Classic Amp and preamp under - $400.00
... putting together a system for my Godchild !!
Lets pay tribute to the "Past" !!! -
Lots of good, used, speaker options available for that price. A "classic" amp and preamp under $400 could be tough. It will be a lot easier to find a good AVR for that amount, I think. Or a nice integrated if you only need stereo.
