Vintage Mcintosh Speakers - your thoughts?

I am thinking of puting a vintage system together - possibly atound a Fisher 500 series receiver or other classic gear and am quite enamored of the look/style of vintage McIntosh speakers like the ML-1C. Does anyone have any thoughts/experience with this model or others in the vintage McIntosh lineup? .. and yes I do want to stick with vintage speakers - to my ears they still measure up to many of today's crop .... measurements aside!

Many thanks,

John

Jaybo, I listened to the Mac speakers using very high-quality (and powerful) amplification. The KEFs, ADSs, and Spendors walked all over them, it was no contest. BTW, this listening was done while I was a salesman for a hi-end audio salon. I had lots of time on my hands during weekdays and I did a LOT of listening...

All the Mac speakers I ever heard were not very good. McIntosh should stick to building electronics and such, their speakers are decidedly second rate. IMHO, of course...
