All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong

I loved the Rectilinear 3s when they came out.  Couldn't even think about buying them.  I've spent hours listening to them...obviously all with analog gear.  They simply kicked my ass.

I had to "settle" for Radio Shack gear.  And I was very happy when I bought their top-of-the-line stuff and I was 15 years old!  Everyone around me, family, friends, casual music fans thought I was nuts.

Excellent! I still get the same response today...until they shut up and sit down and listen.  Then it's a whole different ball game. The most frequent question I'm asked is where did you get this recording because "I've never heard this before" on a very familiar track.  I just smile...........

When was Beveridge introduced?

I heard the Beveridge system in 1974, I believe, when they were quite new.  This was a very nice sounding system, but bass was a bit loose, boomy, and not well integrated with the rest of the spectrum.  It may not quite be pre-1970, but, it is a good vintage speaker nonetheless.  

Let me start by saying this is an absolutely idiotic premise for discussion.

Now, I’m going to listen to either my Cornwalls, or ESL57’s, and get some popcorn as I watch this unfold…

And the 2023 "Golden Boot Up The Arse" trophy for trolling goes to (drum roll and earth-shattering silence) -- @kenjit...er, I mean @lion!  What an amazing come from behind victory with so many contenders this year, but @lion wins hands (and listening ears) down!
