Someone was asking about listening to a pair of Altec Madrids 872 - listening to a pair of 872As I found for 375 - treble is not revealing but they are nice to listen to - the biflex 15” woofers do a nice job - the speakers sounded a bit rough when I got them but I opened up and tightened all the press for connections hooking up the woofer and tweeter - many were loose - now they sound much better!
Vintage vs Modern speakers.
Most people have wrong belief that modern speaker has more clarity and details than vintage speakers
Recently I got 50 years old Altec A7 which sounds much better than my expectation.
I had kept Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter for 16 years which is still regarded as modern speaker.
You judge ths sound of Lansche 4.1 which go down to 20 hz and Altec A7 whcih go down to only 31.5 hz but more robust bass from the following Youtube videos.
Surpising thing is that Altec A7 give as much as details as Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter.
