Been using vintage speakers/drivers for the past 3 years.
Other than the two pairs listed with my system I own/have owned the following vintage drivers...
-R&A (Reproducer & Amplifier, UK) 12" full-range drivers
-Foster (early Fostex, Japan) full-range drivers
-Stephens Tru-sonic, USA 15" coaxials/8 cell horn tweeters
-Herald (UK) 8" full range drivers
-various other rebadged Foster/Coral full range drivers
My favorite is the Stephens Tru-sonic 80FR.
Also familiar with vintage Lowther and Klipsch front/back horn speakers, though it's been 20+ years since I've listened to any (with the exception of Chorus II's I borrowed 3-4 years ago).
I prefer modern line/phono sections, but don't have a problem listening to some of the vintage/older stuff.
I sometimes use a vintage Pilot 232 push/pull EL84 tube power amplifier from the late 1950's.
