Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers

My 1980 Vandy 2Cs sound wonderful to me, (better than my 2014 Monitor Audio Silver RX8s), but when I do decide to purchase the current-generation 2Cs (or 3As, or Quattro CTs) I'm hoping the difference is worth the cost. 

Grew up with Dad’s b-305 ( half a concert grand ) driven by MX-110 and MC240
I still have the MC gear
.... good for the day.....
maybe a full bottle of Cab in but my LiL Vandersteen 1ci a much more accurate and musical speaker.... I run Em with the Mac gear... ha

Surprised no Jbl guys here responding

Just proves all Vandies are a highly musical ear pleasing speaker that’s gotten better and better over time.

I personally almost bought the used pair of Quattro woods that was Audiogon a couple of weeks back.I have 2 friends that own the Treo ct and they just love them.

Richard is a highly respected manufacturer of very solid products with no hype and just solid information.

Good luck to you with your search,
Kenny.
