Who has the oldest speakers?


When my older brother came home from the service in 1971, he had a very large Pioneer stereo system. It came with some very large floorstanding speakers. I don't see him very often, but I saw him last month and to my surprise, he still has the same system, with the same speakers and believe it or not, it sounds great. He takes really good care of the system and it is in immaculate shape. That makes those speaker about 30 years old, more or less.

How about you guys?

Stephens Tru-Sonic 80FR's (8" full range 16 ohm drivers). Efficiency is somewhere in the upper 90's and they use large/heavy alnico magnets.

Probably around 40 years old and someday I will build quality contemporary cabinets for them (the sooner the better as their vintage cabinets are butt ugly:-).
My friend's dad has some huge floor standing Infinitys that he says are from the early-mid 70's. He's had them since new and they've always been his mains. I can see (hear) why...they are amazing.
JBL L-100, circa 1977...used to have the nice blue foam grill covers that turned to mush in the 80's. These still look new and will undoubtedly out-live me.
