I am a collector of full range speakers. A good pair of vintage speakers with modern dsp can absolutely make newer speaker seem silly to buy. I’ve yet to hear anything that will touch the larger dunlavys.p, For 10000 or less. Or the big old tannoys. I don’t think anyone is hand tuning speakers these days like dunlavy did. The fact that 25-30 years later I can afford much more expensive yet have only purchased 2 newer speakers R5 5 symphonic line and a pair of evolution mm3. The later being the most expensive pair by far. I e spent some time with the mini dsp and more recently with the legacy wavelet, The wavelet and a good pair of vintage full range speakers can be pretty impressive. Those k horns no matter how many mods have tried them 3 times with upgrades no matter what yuck. Those are good for college parties and for home theater definitely not at the core of an audiophile system.
