RE: Speaker match?

My friend George Mix in Richland WA in the 80's used to sell lot of those pretty silver Yammies, often with Polk Monitor Series-- the S-10 being the mainstay. These sounded a bit warm, something of a bass hump, but played loud and clean on rock music.

I might explore the upper regions of the Polk arsenal- Monitor 12's maybe? One friend had the largest Polk "SDA SRS" monsters, about 6 ft tall with a dozen drivers, actually sounded damn fine. Check out this fanpage below.

Another choice from maybe bit later that sounded nice were the Vandersteens. You can pick up an original Model 2 on CL for a song, occasionally. Easy to replace drivers. Very nice sounding speakers but ones that definitely sound better the more current you feed them.
