I missed ya 3 Easy !!!
Vintage vs New
My children growing older and leaving home has allowed me to get back into our common interest. I find myself wanting a new pair of speakers and I’m torn between some vintage models that interested me in easier times, but were not obtainable due to budgetary limitations, and current models with their state of the art drivers. Case in point: B&W 801 Matrix Anniversary vs. anything in the 702/703.
I would like to hear people’s thoughts.

well….a properly upgraded (Mike Samra )and maintained MC240 with the right tubes ( Andy at VTS ) is probably as far as ya can get a transformer tube amp. The MC240 xformer one of the best ever. Roger Modjeski and a few others…. run a set of ESL63 off that… https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7106 pictures of that and lots of great gear in my vintage system photos….rather than blather on about things never heard, busy….listening….. |
