You can buy very good speakers today for very little money. Especially in the lower and mid price ranges. I still have my seventies Infinity Reference Standard 2.5s. They were very good speakers and I used them for over 20 years. They are in my 5th system now because although they are still good, a 600 dollar pair of MMGs does most things better than the old Infinites. Time has marched on.
vintage versus modern speakers
Since I have had so many excellent insights and answers to my question, here is the second chapter of my "free" education: are great vintage speakers (Infiniti, JBL,Sansui, Sony, etc..) from the seventies better sounding than what is available now? the X factor in that equation is the cost, since my speaker budget is only 1500$ for two speakers.
