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

@michaelgreenaudio your bang on to what ive been thinking. Audio has gone down the proverbial dumpster. Today its all about audio jewellery than audio musicality. Whos got the nicest most expensive toy.
Can i get your opinion about turntables and tonearms in my other post. Modern turntables Tonearms and to lesser extent have really confused the heck out of me. Should i spend tens of thousands to what many claim are the best tonearms and spaceage turntables or insanely priced cartridges that cost more than a new car? Will it make a major sonic difference?

The best approach is to listen and decide for yourself.

The point about restoring vintage is well taken.... needs to be up to snuff....
and frankly I appreciate and use the two tone controls on the MX-110
i think that is a virtue McIntosh mostly continues to this day....

now trying to to convince me that a tea saucer sized Bozak tweeter can reproduce the shimmer on Gold Dust Woman... well it would take a “ Connection” to make that happen.....

When talking speaker design, how old is considered a vintage speaker? 10 years, 20 years?
