Dave, I don't know exactly what kind of restoring you are thinking of doing, but one thing I will throw into the mix is that your goal probably isn't going to be to get the most natural sound from any set of speakers, it is probably going to be to make the sound as close to the original as you can. That means that what is most important is that your speakers can reproduce sound with enough detail so you can hear subtle changes you might be introducing when you apply noise reduction and such. . Of course, if you are making recordings, then the need is different as you will be modifying the sound to make it sound best and it is much more subjective.
