Sony ss-176e brooklands edition. Excellent sound. Crisp high end very similar to my yamaha studio monitors. Bass is excellent for the size of speaker. The brooklands edition is the one to go for. Made in England and supposedly designed by UK speaker designers. Gold plaque and gold coloured screws and the extra base demarcate it from the standard 176e.

I believe the drivers differ too. Not sure about the crossover. The only drawback is they look rather austere.
Sony 176E Brooklands Edition These Sony speakers hail from the mid 1990s and from. Sony SS-176E Small floor-standing, reflexloaded loudspeaker using two drive units. A joint effort between Sony UK and the Japanese HQ, it has a balance which suits European ears well. Positioned at about 60cm.
I prefer these to my monitor Audio floor standers which had a boosted mid range. Excellent set of speakers, independently of price. For some years I was an 'audiophile', yes, one of those experts who pursue the final equipment to get the most realistic sound available on earth. It took me sometime to find out that the quest was futile, no equipment, independently of the price or components or design, would be EVER able to reproduce music as 'the engineer intended'.
Actually is quite simple, because the engineer worked in a determinate environment, using a determinate set of speakers in a particular location. Sound propagates as waves, as you know, and those waves interact with everything around, and so, you will always hear a combination of the room + your sound system. This is why it is important to buy something of good quality, and spend time researching on how to properly set up the equipment in YOUR ROOM (Audyssey equipped amplifiers are good for this purpose, and keeping the speakers relatively far from the walls and corners of your room).

Oh well, this took more than what I intended at first. I wanted to give a brief introduction in why do I think the SS-176E are such a terrific set of speakers at any price point: BECAUSE THEY DELIVER, they present a convincing sound stage with an incredible amount of detail, and if you take your time to position them in your room, they can reach around 30Hz with some authority. Construction is solid and sturdy, and the cabinets present very low resonance on their own. I read somewhere that these speakers were designed in the UK and manufactured by Sony, which is a good combination no doubt about it.
