What vintage speaker might you use today

Vintage gear is good for nostalgia trips and the audiophile on a lower budget (in fact, very good for them), but not great for building superior audio systems. 

But are they appropriate for people who aren't building extreme or superior audio systems, but instead want to listen to music?  Ancient loudspeaker theorists would argue YES!!!

I have tannoy hpd 315 drivers from i think 1976 in new custom made cheviot cabinets. These are outstanding speakers. Very much the opposite of modern hi fi and for that reason many may not like them. The sound is sweet, musical, with great presence, soundstage and texture. I was surprised that nelson pass uses these in his personal system. They seem to have a cult following but arent mentioned much on this site or in magazines. 

My Irs Betas which I currently use and will never part with. Also have a set of Irs Gammas which also have a permanent home.

The midrange of the Fulton Model J was the FMI 80, mentioned on it's own above by salectric.
