[QUOTE="Audioholic, post: 1115717, member: 15790"] Cool topic, thanks [USER=22898]@shunpillay[/USER]. I'm in the process of restoring a car (not vintage) and similarly to you, i've been hunting down the tiniest bits to get it as-close to factory-correct as possible. The hunt is half the fun! With vintage speakers (and amps) on the other hand, i'm not interested in keeping them period-correct or anything. I like refreshing them, e.g. new caps in the crossovers, new surrounds where needed etc. And some minor improvements like fitting good quality binding posts, stronger grille clips etc. So definitely not like a vintage tyre - my vintage speakers are put through their paces and they rock on. Regarding old vs new, I say why not enjoy both for what they are. Whether i'm listening on old or new gear, after a few 🥃, the sound improves notably. Now i'm chasing the music🎸 [/QUOTE]
