Great thread - a couple comments from members stand out to me. Have me intrigued...
@Almarg - as an EE why would you consider this speaker ?

When someone jumps into a community pool and makes big splashes; it smacks of an agenda and or a big mistake - like oh oh , wrong pool ! Why is no one wearing a bathing suit here !
So - I am interested to know the 2 best vintage system that you have personally set up; the room dimensions, how they were driven, and the source that was used with them.
Cheers

I’ll say therefore that the only speakers from prior to ca. 1980 that come to mind as some that I might want to use would be the Quad ESL-57 (of course)

None. I’ve owned and heard so many vintage speakers that I would not seek one to build an extreme system.
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.
