Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ?

I owned a pair and thought they were very enjoyable, but I always preferred my Lascalas, for my own reasons and tastes. I heavily damped the horns, woofer frames and upgraded crossover components which brought the 19s to another enjoyment level but to my ears had two issues. I easily heard the coherence disparity between the bass section and horn, and the image was too exaggerated, especially with my near field listening. On the other hand, I prefer them over so many other speaker types, costing much more. I cannot comment on the sound, as I am not familiar with the song played, and YT compresses.......as long as you are happy, and this is what it is all about. Overall, nice system/room. My best, MrD.
