I'm putting together a vintage system. So far, I've got a Marantz 2270 receiver and a Teac A-3300SR open reel deck. Looking for recommendations on speakers from the 70's and 80's, especially monitors that would sound great with this system.
Many great suggestions here. If you are looking for monitors I would also throw in the Fried Beta or Beta Signature and any version of the Fried model C.
ah, Dynaco A25. My very first set of "audiophile" speakers bought new in 1972. My friends with Cerwin Vega wondered what I was thinking. Where was that booming bass?
Then they learned about music as opposed to sound.
I feel that with few exceptions 30+ year old speakers can't compare with the modern designs. Even the well considered....and 125$ each...at the time.....original Advent suffers when compared to modern speakers.
Of the FEW vintage speakers I'd like to hear again would be KLH9s and Magnepan Tympani 1d. Maybe toss in an AR3a for giggles.....or even a Braun Triamp.....model unknown.
