There are plenty of vintage speakers and electronics that still sound incredible. The B&Ws are a very nice choice especially for the prices. Upgrade a few parts and even better.
We recently compared 3 Class A solid state amps a few current and one not so current the BEL amp. 5 out of 5 picked the old BEL amp.
If you are someone who thinks vintage cannot compare to todays components I would be more than happy to compare my Lafayette KT-550 tube power amp to whatever you have. Those hand wound transformers cannot be duplicated today which provides the magic - think dynaco - simple design but good transformers.
BTW the old KEF 104.2 and up still sound dame good. Find a pair of the Sony monitors SS-ARs or something like that still outperform many monitors today.
Happy Listening.
