Boston Acoustics A100- A tall speaker with fairly cheap cabinet but great sounding speakers. I still have a pair of these.
Funny, but my current speakers are Advents. Bought brand new by my Dad in 1978. I re-foamed them and have been using them for years. I really like the tight bass from the acoustic suspension design.

And...I had a pair of Boston Acoustics A100s. I lusted after them for a couple of years as a right-out-of-college kid and finally bought them and got them home and didn't love them in my space. But, I kept them into the early '90s when my Dad gave me his Advents as he had just bought a pair of Klipsch kg 3.2s.

My current idea is to move the Advents to my bonus room and get new (old) speakers for the living room to replace the Advents...
