Are vintage speakers really that good?


I was browsing the forums here in Audiogon and I happened to stumble across an Audiogon members' systems and I was so intrigued when I see that this guy is using a vintage speakers that cost a mere $350 with some very expensive electronics. Pls. click this link and tell me your opinions. Are these speakers really better than today's improved technology compared to before?

My experience is that even real crappy speakers can sound pretty good with decent amplification.

I have a set of old radioshack speakers that im running with a Denon POA-2800, granted, i would love some better speakers, had to sell my last ones, but these sound suprisingly good when giving them decent amplification.

Im sure his speakers outperform my radioshackers in every aspect, i wouldnt doubt that the system sounds pretty good.

There are plenty of vintage speakers out there, check out the old-school, klipsch speakers, there are people on this site that swear by these things.

newer is not always better ya know. There will always be "Classics"
