What vintage speaker might you use today

onhyw61, not intending to put words in your mouth; likely a misread. I posted twice because my first post was so delayed it seemed that it was not going to be posted. I'm not trying to bash lower end system users, just share my experiences. 

Doug Schroeder needs to hear an "extreme" (his word) vintage speaker system.  If he does, I predict he will change his opinion that vintage is only suited for "lower end systems" (his words).  To be clear I am not talking about speakers you will find at yard sales.  For example, I am thinking of the pair of Western Electric 757 speakers at the 2011 RMAF.  That system had an engaging musical realism unlike any modern speaker in my experience.

Douglas completely misunderstood the original question. Extreme system is not the point of this thread. Onhwy61 simply stated that instead of building an extreme system some folks may want to instead just listen to music. I among many others happen to agree. Doug your an elitist snob.

JBL L300- with original MC275. Not bad.

Jbl L-7 ,  4 way speaker's,  titanium laminated tweeter,  cross over at 900 htz, 30htz to 27khz, bi-amp  speaker's that hugely improve with high quality speaker  post jumper cable's from bottom post to top post,  very musical, with a unsuspected excellent sound stage, naturalness, transit speed is off the charts for a 1992 speaker.
