I am kind of in the same boat as the original poster. Reviving my teenage quest for hifi. Many options in this age, but few at local stores. This site has been pulling me in for late night reading the past several months and has been a great source of info. Picked up a pair of JBL 580s, (better half approves of black) last month, Saves a bit of floor space but not a major improvement over my old Advents. Colonel7 noted Revel scratch and dent sale is indeed a great deal. White version only - seems to discounted quite a bit. Ended up ordering a ordering a DBR-62 scratch and dent from crutchfield based on on all the positive feedback, but still keeping my eyes and ears open for a floor stander.
