Who has the oldest speakers?

When my older brother came home from the service in 1971, he had a very large Pioneer stereo system. It came with some very large floorstanding speakers. I don't see him very often, but I saw him last month and to my surprise, he still has the same system, with the same speakers and believe it or not, it sounds great. He takes really good care of the system and it is in immaculate shape. That makes those speaker about 30 years old, more or less.

How about you guys?

I have a pair of "Realistic Omni-400"'s

Im not sure how old they are, but they seem to be old. I see alot of stuff on EBAY from Realistic, and it suggests they are from the 70's

Anybody know anything about these?????????

A buddy of mine bought them for me for 10 bucks at my neighbors garage sale. They sounded suprisingly good with thier ribbon tweeters. Good enough at least that i plan to re-venieer them with some high gloss bright cherry vineer.

I asked my neighbor about them, but he said that they somehow came into his posession, and he thought they sounded pretty lousy.
Must have been his power soource.

I still am using a pair of JBL L-50's that I bought used around 1978. I would guess they were about 5 years old at that time. Been using them almost continuously ever since. Soon to be sent to the old speaker retirement home when I upgrade to a new system, but they have served me well
