AR14 replacement speaker suggestions

Very nice!!! That's why I also used Celestions, Altecs and JBL's in my amps and PA's....Thanks for the heads up though!!! At least I know my options!!!

There are some modern speakers with retro styling from JBL (L100 Classic) and Wharfedale (Linton) but you have not mentioned a budget. Those models are not cheap. If you have very limited funds, you may need to look at the used market or consider something modern like the Monoprice towers posted above. If you're looking for that '80s sound there are usually Cerwin Vegas for sale on line, but they are not particularly good compared to what is made today.

According to what the OP mentioned above, he needs speakers that can play loud. Neither the Wharfedale or the JBL L100 can play loud enough to his liking. He needs either pro audio or THX certified speakers.
