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?
I tried many, to arrive at, Craigs/List $150 kg4s.am now convinced one MAY not have to spend a fortune to enjoy music didnt really know about klip. speakers Its nice to be surprised once and awhile Good Luck
Gale 401a circa 1974.Used with a modern valve amp they are superb. Toshiba SS30s from the early 60s.One of the great listening experiences-almost Tannoy DC like in presentation-lacking the smear that plagues most speakers.
Interesting to note Tangents are mentioned.I had the RS4s for years.Wonderful very BBC sounding speakers.
Mid 70’s Bozak B-401 Rapsodys w egg crate grills.. Surprisngly good sounding, decent bass. Thoren TD-125 II > Schiit Freya+ > Sony TA-N55ES amplifier. All original; one owner mint except for one inch by one quarter inch high hard plastic feet that may help the sound by decoupling the speakers from my carpeted wooden floors. Every time I fire these up I end up spending at LEAST 2 hours listening to them.
