To go new or to go vintage?


Finally getting a legitimate set up going picking up my yaqin tube amp tomorrow but I still don't have speakers. So the question popped in my head should I buy new or vintage?

I will by used whether vintage or new stuff. This way, you can resell them and not lose too much money, and it’s fun to try new gears, and sell the ones you don’t like.

   Vintage speakers like JBL studio 4412, 4430, etc sound real good to me - even compared to new stuff, with their alnico magnets not seen in new ones. There are many vintage ones to hunt down, but you might want to re-do the x-over as capacitors dry out over time.

   Happy hunting...

I heard good things about the amp you are buying - keep us posted as to how it sounds...Happy thanks giving.




I will keep you posted just hoping he fallows through supposed to meet him in about 3 hrs
