Poking my head back in this forum once every 6 months and nothing has changed just like a 40 yr running soap opera.  Same characters, same script, same drama....

In many instances, vintage speakers took a completely different approach than modern design.  Designed for a higher, steady impedance, they could coax gorgeous sonics from tube amps.  Why do you think Art Dudley coveted the sound of both his 1966 Altec Valencia's and newer Flamenco's?  It depends on the amp you're pairing with and the type of music you appreciate most.  With 300b's or really any SET circuit the sound can be texturally gorgeous.  Certainly much more to my liking than the sound produced by some bright blue 4 ohm clunky box that looks like a DIY job made in someone's garage.

Today’s best is tomorrow’s vintage.  It sounds good today, take care of it and it’ll sound good tomorrow.  Today’s worst is also tomorrow’s vntage, so you can’t generalize very well.  Good is still good even if it’s not THE BEST!
