Anyone here using vintage speakers?

Advent 1's in the bedroom system.

Sometimes I really miss my old ESS AMT's.
May still be the best top end I have ever heard.
Bass was thunderous @ 400 wpc (dual mono Carvers) & my neighbors really loved me back then.
If I had the room - I would find another pair, just for old time's sake.

I still use a pair of Rectilinear III floor standing full range speakers in a secondary system. I bought them in the early 70s and they still sound good after all these years.

Rectilinear III, Ohm C2, AR3a, JBL LE14C, JBL Studio Master 200B, ElectroVoice, Jensen G610 Triaxial, KLH 5, and this morning I just picked up a pair of Janszen Z-600s that need 2 woofers and a tweeter. Yes, they all get some use now and then. My wife says I have too many!! (You didn't ask about a current reference system, so I won't mention one.)
They all have positives and negatives. I find the current offerings of speakers have less negatives.

Large Advents - one of Henry's best IMHO.

Fraziers and Vita vox speakers and of course BOZAKS -ALL AMAZING! - if you can find them . Some Sansui sp200,sp2000,sp2500 - cheap and really nice if you like that type of sonic signature!

Wow, lots of responses. I don't often see anyone talking about vintage speakers on here, so I didn't figure there would be many responses to my question. Glad to see that I am not alone in my appreciation for vintage audio. Cool beans!!

28 year old Tannoy Classic Monitor's .....wife loves them as well. Have tried various newer speakers but the Tannoy's are IPO the most musical pair of speakers for my taste of music.

Infinity Monitor IIa's - bought them new in 1975 and can't part with them. They hold their ground against most anything <$4000 as long as they're set up right.

Hi

1979 Klipsch Cornwalls with upgraded crossovers, amazing sound

Larry

JBL 200 studio masters and Klipsch KG4 both very good and reliable!

1978-ish Snell Type Ai's. Great sounding speaker...with every improvement upstream their performance just gets better.

.

Tangent RS6, Tangent TM1, the New Large Advent and one or two others....

I use a few different speakers.Most modern speakers just sound too slow and smeared to me This seems to be a function of high power handling,rubber surrounds and long excursion cones.

Hence the gurrent interest in things like the Zu speakers.

I use a pair of late 60s Toshiba SS30s.These are high sensitivity 3 ways with cloth surrounds,light paper cones and alnico magnets.The tweeter is a bullet.They came with tiamping provision so Toshiba obviously had serious intentions for them.Fantastic sounding speakers but they need a good sub for the bottom octave.
I also have friends that use Goodmans Axiom 80 based speakers in preference to modern speakers.
I also have some B&W DM70 hybrid stats and used to own Crown ES212 hybrid stats.These are also excellent vintage speakers when restored.

1978 Klipschorns. Love 'em.

Although I no longer have them the Teledyne AR-9 was and still is a really good speaker wich I owned till about 2 years ago, still miss them.
