Anyone here using vintage speakers?


I am mostly a lurker and reader here and see very little conversation about vintage speakers (pre 1985). I have owned Altec 604's for about a year now and love the hell out of them. Just wondered if there are other vintage users in this crowd?

Just got them, they're amazing, not perfect for every kind of music, difficult to set up in the room, but when they work, oh my gosh they work. Right now Schubert's second piano trio Op. 100 with Stern/Istomin/Rose is so perfectly precise, just rich enough, you'd swear they're in the room with you.

Surprisingly my AKSA drives them with no sweat whatsoever.

Refurbed by Wayne Piquet from Florida and up on his big rigid metal stands. They're white (see the system page).
