Had the bug / taste for high end now vintage Infinity and Yamaha back in a day. Moving forward still like the look / build so after several years Hunting for excellent examples I’m finally there. The heart of my system is IRS Beta driven by 2 Yamaha Pc5002m’s. Still sounds…. Expensive.

The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear
Vintage audio gear holds a unique charm, offering rich sound and timeless design that many modern components can't quite replicate. Brands like Marantz, McIntosh, and JBL are still revered for their warm, detailed sound, especially in tube amps and classic speakers. While modern technology offers improved reliability and lower distortion, vintage gear brings a sense of nostalgia and character that many audiophiles crave.
Do you prefer the warmth of vintage, or do you lean toward modern hi-fi innovations? How would you mix vintage with modern in your setup?
