How old are your speakers

.
Montaldo, I would not completely dismiss the importance of materials and technology in building a speaker.

Not sure about the exact age of my speakers, but they must be 35 years old or possibly older. Yamaha NS-1000M.

I had been using a pair of the Waveform Mach MC/MC.1 (about 20-25 years old) as my only speakers for a number of years.

I replaced them about two years ago with new old stock, same make and model. If I had to guess, I would say that the old Waveforms had about 85 to 90 per cent of the sound of the new Waveforms. They use Vifa drivers.

JBL S4700s...2 years 9 months. :)

Great Posts. Sitting listening to music at 0500 hrs before work and still thrilled by the sound of my old friends, ( Verity Parsifals )
