All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong

Have tried many vintage speakers.

My conclusion: All pre-1970 vintage speakers suck. Well-made but crappy sound.

Used with both vintage amps and modern.

I do like many vintage amps such as Radio Craftsmen RC-500, Marantz tube, Scott tube, Heath W5, Lafayette and Pilot tube.

But back to pre-1970 speakers:

No bass, harsh, or honky mids and no highs. Not musical or listenable to me.

Tried many including Acoustic Research AR-3a, 2Ax, etc. The entire AR product line. Also Klipsch Horn, Large EVs. Altec VOTT. Pioneer CS-88 and 99.

Nothing pre 1970 is even close to the better modern speakers.

I challenge you: Prove me wrong.

A black & white generalization about a quarter century of speakers. Considering the relatives ages of many of the members, I am pretty sure they enjoyed speakers pre 1970.

Don't prove me wrong, it's self-evident, just go and have a listen." So, all speakers sucked before 1970 and all speakers suck after 1970? This leads to two truths. 1. The only good speakers were made in 1970. 2. Your speakers suck.
