Thinking of trying "vintage" sound just for fun

I'm thinking of picking up a nice Fisher 400, or maybe even a H. H. Scott 299 and hearing what my ears heard decades ago.  My speakers are heavily modified Klipschorns (wood Tractrix horns with TAD 2001 drivers, ALK 120 db/octave networks).  The sound from these speakers with Sonic Frontiers and Audio Research stuff upstream (SFL-2, SF-D, SFT-1, VT-100) is highly detailed with a lovely soundstage, and percussive wavefronts that will split your skull.   An old 'vintage' integrated would be entirely different... and I suspect quite satisfying.

Stay warm everybody!

The term "Vintage Iron" isn't just a casual description. I have several old restored EICO products that sound extremely linear but retain that  musicality and authority that vintage equipment is capable of in our modern hi fi world. Pair them with the right speakers and it's off the merry go round for a lot of folks. 

Enjoy!
