All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong

Please don’t get drawn into this subjective nonsense. 
Any ice cream that isn’t vanilla sucks -prove me wrong!

As I believe this post was started tongue in cheek, the only thing I will add is that equipment cannot be compared in the parameters of generation. My Pioneer HPM speakers in 1978 brought me more musical joy then than I can even hope for out of my way better speakers now. Context and perspective should always be considered. I still have the HPM's and a pair of Pioneer CS888A's that sound awesome. 

The oldest speakers that I have owned are 1972 vintage Large Advents. I agree with the previous post except that the “custom” real wood veneer cabinets were not too bad looking. I have owned many pair since the mid 70’s and still find them to be quite good. one pair were restored/modified by Bill Legall from Millersound. He called the mods his “secret sauce.” They were remarkable! I also have enjoyed several pair of vintage Sansui speakers from the same era. They were made by Coral.inJapan and were quite good, especially the Alnico models.

I have also been fortunate enough to have heard the Deja Vu Western Electric builds in their VA showroom. I am so thankful that Vu offered to show them to me. By far the best sound I have heard in a showroom demo. They were powered by vintage Western Electric amplifiers (from the 30’s) which Deja Vu also rebuilds.

Radio Shack Optimus Ones were my first speakers as a teenager. They were hand me downs from my father and I loved them. Always wanted JBLs L100 s and have them now in a second vintage system. My main system has Tannoy Churchill’s, a long way from the Radio Shacks. I wouldn’t say vintage speakers were bad at all, they were the pioneers to where we are today! I love vintage equipment, especially now when I can afford the things I could only dream about when I was very young and very poor…..
