Is it worth it to have vintage speakers at all?
Sometimes they're made of better quality materials, but more often than not it's all about the nostalgia factor. I use a lot of old equipment because it either belonged to a loved one, or it reminds me of someone or of a happy time in my childhood. That's why I'm currently rocking out with some humongous floor speakers that were made by Zenith. They get pretty hot, and they look out of place, but since they were my late father's it makes me happy to use them. ]]>Madison2021-07-08T00:46:46-00:00Re: Modern vs. Vintage Speakers

I didn't realize that JBL had been around that long until you said that, Rusty. I only heard of them within the past couple of years when they put out those great headphones. ]]>Strum Drum2021-07-11T13:50:55-00:00Re: Modern vs. Vintage Speakers

Vintage speakers tend to be much more efficient and will produce more sound per watt.
I've seen some designs of vintage speakers, and at least for me, I think it's worth it getting one. Its aesthetic side mainly caught my attention, but I'm glad to learn that it also produces great sound quality. ]]>Zart2021-07-20T07:50:09-00:00Re: Modern vs. Vintage Speakers

As is often true...it is your ears, budget, room size and spouse that will govern your choice.
