Vintage amp and Hi-end speakers-good match

Vintage tube gear sounds great...Vintage solid state sounds pretty bad...any new amp by Nad,Rotel,etc will simply pull the pants down on the vintage...I used to have a Sansui and a highly regarded Pioneer SX series receiver...both of which were completely outclassed by my recent NAD c350...

I had a Sansui 3000. It sounded on par with my marantz 2216B. These were both very good when they came out. However, when they came out it was in an era of audio "hell". The 2000 will not stand up to many similarly priced units from today ($300 then vs $300 now) and will certainly not stand up to vintage tube gear.

Simply better technology. Using better parts than 20, 30 years ago. More knowledge

I have Green Mountain Europos with an Onkyo A7 integrated amp from about 1978. It is a beautiful sounding combo, Better than much more expensive amps I've owned.

You guys have it all wrong. It is much better to get vintage speakers and mate those to today's fine amps.
