Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Interesting question

High End speakers of the 60's were derivatives of designs from the 50's. Large horns, and AR. Very little innovation or real change until the 70's.

To your question:

Altec A7 and domestic enclosure models
AR3
JBL Ranger Paragon
Bozak Concert Grand
KLH 9
Electro Voice Patrician

If there is a common element, it would be that all were BIG (AR is the exception), and required a large room to perform at their best.

All of the above had limitations. BUT there remains a very loyal group of listeners who feel that the above models, when properly restored, can still outperform many more current speakers.

Food for thought.
