B&W DM6, any good compared to speakers today?


I have an opportunity to pick up a vintage pair of B&W DM6's in great shape. How do they compare to todays speakers? I will be driving them with a Fisher 500C. I currently am using Kirksaeter 60's and some vintage AR 91's in my systems.

I've got a pair, bought new in 1978. They've had quite a few different electronics bits feeding music to them over the past 37 year. I guess I might contemplate replacing them with a set of big Magneplanars, but they lack the necessary Wife Approval Factor and would probably block the east windows in my listening room. They've reproduced what I listen to (renaissance, baroque, oldtime, Chicago blues) very nicely with a Threshold 400A driving them, and will soon have a pair of Levinson monos doing that job. Fab midrange, acceptable bass, and yes - female blues singers sound damned good.
