Some vintage speakers can rival any modern one ....
I speak about normal speakers not the cutting edge of the last technology at a price point so over the usual price point that most people cannot afford them nor even contemplate the idea...
Myself give me ANY relatively good speaker i will make it sound greater than you ever think it was able to deliver....
I know how...
It is called acoustic....
No speaker, especially those about which people boast the most, can beat the room where they work....Simple basic acoustical science....
Give me a straw and i will destruct or redeem a room/speakers couple , with the ratio of his lenght and his diameter and his location in the room ...Thanks to Helmholtz....
This is the power of acoustic laws, unbeknownst to consumers speaking about their last favorite speakers and selling them to be the best, vintage or new..
I prefer to sell acoustic enlightenment instead ofย fad or "taste"....
But it is always more difficult to experiment than to buy something....Vintage or new....
Anyway a good vintage design with good materials for the enclosure can beat any new design less refined it is an evidence....Add to that a great controlled room and the distinction between vintage and new lost his power almost completely....
Acoustic is the queen in audio....ย
