I can't imagine you guys/girls are really serious. You mean to tell me with your so called hyper hearing that them old ragged speakers you have are as good as what's produced today?
I mean, I got 11 year old Stages and they were terriffic in their day and are still pretty good in the midrange, but there are speakers out there that cost less today than the Stages did 11 years ago and have the midrange magic and are better in other ways.Plus they don't dominate a room.
Just because I own them though, doesn't make them saintly.
If loudspeakers didn't improve in every parameter in the last 10-20 years, then we wouldn't even be at this web site. For the industry would have gone outa business.
C'mon folks, face the music, your speakers that you so cherish from the by gone days are far from top shelf any longer. Most of them are nothing more than boat anchors at this point. Even my Stages.
