I know where you are coming from -- I used to love the old, big pieces. Unfortunately, I think you will find they sound dreadful --- dead, flat, thin, lifeless, edgy. That's why I don't buy pieces like this I see for sale. Unless you just want to relish the physical appeal they have & the nostaglic feelings they create. High end, they're not.
