Are vintage speakers really that good?


I was browsing the forums here in Audiogon and I happened to stumble across an Audiogon members' systems and I was so intrigued when I see that this guy is using a vintage speakers that cost a mere $350 with some very expensive electronics. Pls. click this link and tell me your opinions. Are these speakers really better than today's improved technology compared to before?

Royy, apart from the fact that Sean speaks for me too -- better than I would have done -- the speakers listed are the Tannoy GRF & the JBL 4311!

The 4311 is a 3-way control speaker used in professional applications. The other pair is a legendary model from Tannoy. Not just *any* vintage product of the discount variety...!
