The reason I bought the L80T3s and L20Ts is to put together a home theater system using the L100T3s in the from, the L20Ts in the center and the L80T3s in the rear. IMO, I think this will make for a great HT setup while also having fantastic stereo playback. The funny thing about this configuration is it uses speakers that were manufactured and sold in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The other interesting thing is a vintage "L" series speaker setup can be put together for less than $1,000 and it sounds as good, or better, than many of the higher priced systems sold today. This can be done with many brands like Polk, Infinity etc.

Actually, when it comes to sound reproduction, I don't feel the current speakers (maybe with the exception of very high end pieces) deliver that much better quality, if any better, than many of the older variants. The one area that modern speakers excel is in packaging, size and style. They can blend into a room easier and make the wife happier but, IMO, there is a price paid for this too in making them well rounded systems. My wife can complain about my rather large L100T3s sitting in the living room but I have to remind her that I have known these speakers longer than I have known her and she shouldn't force me to choose between the two of them.
