RE: Legacy Products That Out Perform Their Modern Counterparts

You're reaching a series of conclusions based on your own anecdotal experience. So, I can't comment on the veracity of your statements.

However, I truly hope that the newer Klipsch speakers are better than the older big ones. They sounded like crap.

Vintage Altec and JBL? Surely you jest. Altec, without significant EQ, was like putting a dentist drill in your ear. JBL was all over the map, but mostly "boom-sizzle". "Acoustic lens" - Ha! What a joke - no surprise that even they abandoned it.

Many of these companies are still the same in name only, having gone through corporate/branding ownership changes, sometimes more than once, so to compare a current "Marantz" product to a Saul Marantz product is like comparing products from two different companies - because they are.
