Vintage Speaker Choice

Question for all who wish to respond. If you had a choice between identical condition (excellent) Wharfedale W40 or Large Advent what would you choose? Price similar as well. Say under 400 bucks per pair. Thanks.

The Celestion Ditton 33, 44, even 66 are around at that price sometimes. Recapping these provides huge gains and is easy to do. IMF TLS 50's are very good too but should also recap. Obviously many more but there is a few in the price range :I am sure you would enjoy. Not to derail the thread but I can't resist a comment. I haven't heard a new $400 speaker that is close to these "Ancient history" speakers.

As good or better than any 30 year old speaker I have owned. I haven't even re capped them yet but these are definitely worth the effort.
