Talk about "vintage"? I am still enjoying my AR-2ax speakers from 1969! The original ten inch woofers utilized rubber surrounds that have never needed replacement.
I did have to replace one of the mid range drivers after about ten years - the corroded level controls in the 1980's, and a burnt out dome tweeter just last year. Fortunately, Parts Express carries a substitute AR dome tweeter for about $20 that matches the original perfectly.
These speakers still sound as sweet and natural as ever - especially with the latest improvements in analogue and digital sound sources!
