When I was a kid, I would dream about 901's from all the ads in Stereo review. Thru the years I thought about building a vintage 2nd system and finding a pair.
One thing, never dismiss vintage components (assume everything is working). People and reviewers back then knew what sounded good too.
I went vintage with my speaker cables and found a mint pair of MONSTER M 2.2 series. I love how they fit in with my system. Good cabling is good cabling
