Vintage vs Modern speakers.


Most people have wrong belief that modern speaker has more clarity and details than vintage speakers
Recently I got 50 years old Altec A7 which sounds much better than my expectation.

I had kept Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter for 16 years which is still regarded as modern speaker.

You judge ths sound of Lansche 4.1 which go down to 20 hz and Altec A7 whcih go down to only 31.5 hz but more robust bass from the following Youtube videos.
Surpising thing is that Altec A7 give as much as details as Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter.

I bought used Scaena 3.2 on Jan 2000. But due to Covid break, i could not assemble main towers for 30 months.

I appreciate Rick’s help in assembly of it last Friday.

During the time, I had been using two Scaena 18 inch subwoofers to augement either Lansche 4.1 or Altec A7.

Now i am doing some comparison between Altec A7 and Scaena 3.2.


Could you tell whether  the above musics are from Altec A7 or Scaena 3.2?

Can you record the same track on both pairs of speakers, and post up here without telling us which is which?
