Inmate 51;
I'm not reaching any conclusions. I was just stating that I have read here and elsewhere where some audiophiles seem to prefer a company's legacy product(s) more than their current offerings.
I have had a mix of vintage and modern gear now and in the past. All of it works well together so I don't know of any anecdotal experience that I may have that supports exclusively vintage, or modern gear.
I have had the latest equipment from Paradigm Reference, Pass Labs, PS Audio, Magnepan, Sony ES, Schiit, and more. I have also had great vintage gear from Fisher, Sherwood, Harmon Kardon, Dynaco, Lenco, and Audio Research.
I just wished (others may also) to hear from inmates about their experiences where legacy gear was preferred over the modern or updated version - THAT'S ALL.
An example of what I was getting at is something like the Marantz 9, 8b, or 7 commanding a great deal of money when offered. The market can't be driven exclusively by collectors. Surely there must be those audiophiles that prefer their respective sound/performance.
You obviously have your opinions about Klipsch Heritage, Altec, and JBL that you so eloquently expressed - great.
