Anyone here using vintage speakers?

McIntosh ML1Cs from 1970ish. Sound great! (and LOUD)

Snell. When I lost my Apogee Duetta Sigs, I needed something affordable. I found a pair of Snell AII's for $600 here on Audiogon and then a pair of original E's for $100. The AII's had been rebuilt recently, but needed a tweeter replaced. Millersound did a great job on the E's and even had an original tweeter for AII's. I have been happier than I thought was going to be possible. Just be warned that you will need to know somebody good for service if you can't do it yourself.

Allison 3s & 4s. Still wonderful.

...in my den, my secondary system. I got these new in 1978 as a high school graduation present. Bought at Tech HiFi on sale for $178/pr. Although I am afraid to do the "pencil eraser test," I am still using the original foam surrounds. The cabinets and grills are a bit worn, but they still sound rich and full as always. They never were detail or imaging champs, though. Heck of a value, all things considered!

Bondmanp,

What brand of vintage speaks from Tech HiFi? You didn't say.

The best I remember at Tech HiFi to be had for that price on sale might be Ohm E's? I sold dozens of them back in the day.

Or could be EPIs or smaller Infinitys or Advents maybe?
