Vintage vs Modern speakers.


Most people have wrong belief that modern speaker has more clarity and details than vintage speakers
Recently I got 50 years old Altec A7 which sounds much better than my expectation.

I had kept Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter for 16 years which is still regarded as modern speaker.

You judge ths sound of Lansche 4.1 which go down to 20 hz and Altec A7 whcih go down to only 31.5 hz but more robust bass from the following Youtube videos.
Surpising thing is that Altec A7 give as much as details as Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter.

Some folks make the  claim , can't judgea  speaker via YT compression/+ computer cheapo speakers,,guess headphones  would be better,,,but anyway.
Honestly, both have MASSIVE SPL /Soundstage.
My rm is small and I listen at very near field at low/mid SPL, So neither would work for me. But to chime in a  answer, honestly I hear some over hang in the upper bass/low midrange, that notorious section where most speakers get all hung up.
I mean if you like huge GIGANTIC SPL,, soundstage, then yeah either one will work. 
Here give mine a  listen. 
Clean/clear, zero over hang /bloating in neither  upper bass nor low mid section
The upload cam is a cheap Sony, all I could afford.
So suffers from the cheap upload, But you get a  vague idea anyhoot

Be honest, if you don't like it, just say so.
ain't gonna hurt my feelings.

Great post. Wonderful sound and space. The Altecs sound huge but seem to have a boxy/shouty coloration.
@mozartfan Sounds good. Plenty of presence and detail. It's late and maybe I missed it but which pair were you playing?
