There are several audio devotees who would choose to listen to a set of two classic speaker systems or even a vacuum tube amp designed at some point in the nineteen fifties versus so-called micro-processor driven, electronic sounding elements made in the present day. Almost certainly one with the best sounding collectible speakers are the Tannoy Berkeleys. Tannoy also created a loudspeaker known as the canterbury which had been awesome as well. If you can locate these at auction I would certainly definately pick-up a couple.

bit.ly The Altec Lansing Computer Speakers BXR 1220 are great for desktops and are perfect for laptops. These are very light and portable, but really pump some tener and bass. They conveniently plug into a USB jack for power and plug into a headphone/audio output jack for premium sound. These speakers are a steal at .99.

Classic speakers are excellent at recreating the entire sound spectrum when measuring relatively smooth. When combined with the suitable hardware this tends to produce unbelievable seperation and placement of vocals and musical instruments. It creates the type of sound in which if you shut your eyes it's difficult to know that your truly listening to a recording.
