I picked a pair of Pagaent 2s for $40 a couple of years ago. Some staining on the veneer and one missing badge but functionally they seem perfect. I was quite impressed.
The tweeter appears to be some kind of rigid plastic done and has good detail and dispersion, but a little bit of a hard edge. The woofer is perhaps the star. Mids are surprisingly good, clear and immediate, bass is generous but tight. Despite the port loading it sounds tight like an acoustic suspension design (which I generally prefer). I have matched mine with a very sweet sounding low power Advent 300 receiver from the 1980s in my bedroom. The Advent is similar to a NAIT in approach. Great preamp, 15 watts of solid state power, and a small quantum of magic. Anyway I'd expect the Pageant 2 would sound great with a low power tube amp, a 47Labs chip amp, or one of those diy Class A kits.
It displaced Heybrook HB1s, which I love too much to get rid of. More of everything, more accurate tonal balance, but keep most of the excitement I love in the HB1s. Now I'm looking at Pagaent 3s, which seem to be a substantially more ambitious and expensive 3 way design, but will cost me more than $40. Plus I don't really have a spot for them, even with 4 systems.
