Vintage speakers from the 70's and 80's

ah, Dynaco A25. My very first set of "audiophile" speakers bought new in 1972. My friends with Cerwin Vega wondered what I was thinking. Where was that booming bass?

Then they learned about music as opposed to sound.

Then went on to Kef and PSB

I feel that with few exceptions 30+ year old speakers can't compare with the modern designs.
Even the well considered....and 125$ each...at the time.....original Advent suffers when compared to modern speakers.

Of the FEW vintage speakers I'd like to hear again would be KLH9s and Magnepan Tympani 1d. Maybe toss in an AR3a for giggles.....or even a Braun Triamp.....model unknown.

Infinity-RS 1.5
JBL-L110
KEF-Reference 103.2

JBL L100 and play Statsboro Blues.

Refurbished OHM Ls, C2s, or Hs. OHm Acoustics in Brooklyn offers these vintage models with modern drivers and electronic components. These were my favorites back in those days. HAving them still available and supported by the original company plus with the latest and greatest technology included is a nice option. Prices straight from OHM would range from $500-$900 or so these days I believe.

I upgraded my original OHM Ls from 1978 myself recently and they sound better than ever.
