I've wanted to like vintage electronics but not much luck, until a found a refurbished HK430 receiver which sounds great with my Elac 6.2, but not in a large room...
Vintage worth the time to explore?
I’m relatively new to this world (very fast learner) and would love to know your thoughts:
I have a pair of Elac Debut 6.2 and Klipsch KG3s….I drive them both with a Marantz PM6005 and have been relatively happy but sound really loses its warmth and color unless played LOUD. With 3 kids under 5 I’m looking for an amp to help provide warm, full sound at lower dBs.
I’ve been super curious about exploring other amp options and wanted to explore the vintage route (Marantz 2230, Sansui AU 717, Pioneer SA-8500)… but after seeing prices between 800-2k for 50 year old gear, I’m apprehensive.
Am I just lured by the idea of vintage?
