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.

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.

I had a pair of NS-10s. They were not what I would call one of the great speakers of yesteryear. Sure you don't mean the NS-1000s? THOSE were/are great. My parents still use theirs and they are wonderful.

Ahh, but did you ever try putting toilet paper tissue over the tweeter and hanging them from the ceiling with bungee cord?

That is the all important tweak/alteration that takes them over the hill ;-)

Shadorne,
Yeh, but you didn't ask if he uses inversion boots while listening, these little details get forgotten easily.
