State of the art speakers from yesteryear.


Which speakers from the past can compete with the very best available today?
With some modification performed today that will take them over the hill?
A perfect example would be the Infinity RS-1b.
Upstream electronics would be chosen to suit the speakers.
pedrillo
Jbl Hartsfield (Older version) with Super tweeter and subwoofer. This speaker sounded very close to the Quad ESL 57 in the midrange (I had both at the same time) but could fill a theatre full of sound.

Most Apogee Full Range Ribbons (Full Range, Scintilla, Diva, Duetta,)

Many other great vintage pieces that the Japanese covet for good reason.
Bozak Concert Grands or Symphony's...can,( with some TLC, if need be),sound remarkably good and will compete with many "modern" high-end (overpriced?)designs.
