HPM 150’s Still Relevant?

I’ve got some museum quality HPM 150’s that were NOS about 5 years ago that I have been enjoying, they have an amazing low volume presence and nice full sound, the imaging is excellent, I’m running them with a Bryston 4B ST and BP 25 Pre. My local hi-fi dealer recommends changing them out for a more modern pair of speakers any thoughts?

If you like the speaker why change? A quick google search tells me this is quite a highly though of vintage speaker.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to compare them to some more modern speakers if you have the chance but don't think you need to change them just because they are old.
