[QUOTE="HC1, post: 1116617, member: 24590"] I am passionate about vintage speakers. You have to select them carefully. Not all vintage speakers are good, but quite a few hold their own. I try and listen to as many Hifi setups as possible, some new, others vintage. I am pleasently surprised at how good some vintage speakers are compared to new ones. I got rid of most of my modern speakers and kept the old ones. It is of course about taste as well. I prefer a warmer musical sound. Then once again it also matters what you feed them. My B&Ws are very hard to beat. The Concertos are musical and quite efficient. The ARs sound laid back but unique, especially paired with vintage equipment. I my oppinion if you prefer a neutral sound, modern speakers will be better. I like the old stuff for their caracter. Vintage Tannoys are on my list.....
