Vintage vs New


My children growing older and leaving home has allowed me to get back into our common interest. I find myself wanting a new pair of speakers and I’m torn between some vintage models that interested me in easier times, but were not obtainable due to budgetary limitations, and current models with their state of the art drivers.  Case in point: B&W 801 Matrix Anniversary vs. anything in the 702/703.
I would like to hear people’s thoughts.

@millercarbon: Stop shilling for Tekton! The B&W 801 Matrix Anniversary is a pedigreed speaker designed by a top-notch engineering team - not by a guy building speakers in his garage!
"There simply was no good wire back then. No power cords, no interconnects, no speaker cables." NONSENSE!
KLH Nine full-range electrostats driven by a pair of Futterman H3AA OTL amps is still a world-beater combination! I have this in use!
