Anyone here using vintage speakers?


I am mostly a lurker and reader here and see very little conversation about vintage speakers (pre 1985). I have owned Altec 604's for about a year now and love the hell out of them. Just wondered if there are other vintage users in this crowd?

Well It should be who is using "Classic" speakers then, however instant Classic speakers could be 6 months old too! Who knows.

It seems to me the only way to define this thread would be Vintage as in, fairly early crude days of audio reproduction analog sources available only, tape, reel to reel, and vinyl..

Units that are Silver, some black, Remote controls were virtually not available on any units.. Speakers were built mostly made out of Plywood or really bad chipboard, even before MDF was the specified universal material..

Really before the Start of Commercial CD sales or digital reproduction would seem to be a Good time marker to consider it "Vintage" equipment in most peoples minds..
I have an older pair of JBL 4343's. Have the upgraded 2122H midrange drivers and the 2235H woofers. Biamp the system using Cary CAD805's on the top and a Crown K2 amp on the 2235's. Use these speakers as the mains for my home theater system. I love Vintage JBL.
Ohm Walsh 2s (with OHM driver upgrade to newer 100 series 3 driver).

Realistic Minimus 7's on the deck.

OHM L's with OHM sub bass activator circuit and custom Morel driver mods.
Monitor Audio MA4's since the late 70's (can't remember exactly, maybe early 80's?). Although they will soon be replaced by Tyler Acoustic D3M's.
